On August 20, 2016, in collaboration with the University of Colorado Cancer Center, GRACE presented the Targeted Therapies in Lung Cancer Patient Forum in Aurora Colorado. We are happy to share the videos from this live and webcast forum. Our first video welcomes all to the event, and it was our extreme pleasure to have Chris Draft and Dr. Ross Camidge join us to start the day! This is followed by keynote topic "Does NED matter? Using “curative” surgery or radiation techniques to treat "incurable" advanced lung cancer," with Dr. Rob Meguid, and a panel discussion featuring Dr. Meguid, Dr. Chad Rusthoven, Dr. Ross Camidge, and chaired by Dr. H. Jack West.

Advance Directives

Article

Advance directives are a powerful way to take control of healthcare choices. These documents allow you to outline preferences for medical care and specify end-of-life wishes. These documents can also be a way to appoint loved ones who you would like to help with these decisions, such as a healthcare proxy (someone to make decisions on your behalf, if you cannot). As cancer treatments can involve aggressive treatments and/or complex medical management, having advance directives ensures that your desires regarding treatment options and end-of-life care are clearly communicated.
