Talk with Patients: Relapsed SCLC and Amrubicin
Author
Howard (Jack) West, MD

A few weeks ago, I gave a talk at a Seattle non-profit called Cancer Lifeline, at which I described some of the highlights of current lung cancer treatment and the direction of ongoing research. I recorded that lecture (which does include some stray sounds in the background), and I thought it would be helpful to make it available to people online.

The talk lasted over an hour, so we're breaking it up into pieces on a discrete topic. The first one is on SCLC and specifically relapsed disease, where I focused primarily on work with amrubicin.

Here is the slide set, the transcript, a link to the audio (mp3) version, and then the video podcast presentation. More topics to come.

Don't let the word "small" deceive you. Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) casts a long shadow, impacting lives with its aggressive nature and the complexities of its treatment. But while the challenges are real, so is the progress. Breakthroughs in small cell lung cancer treatment offer hope. Immunotherapy plus chemo-radiation improves survival by 22 months. Screening catches it early.
