Treating Invisible Disease in Lung Cancer

Howard (Jack) West, MD

Here is a brief and basic summary of the concept of why we're concerned not only about the cancer we can see but the potential cancer we can't.

This is the first presentation I've done that uses a format called a "slidedoc", essentially a more detailed set of images that provides a visual version of complex ideas in a way that can stand alone without someone presenting slides to you. Those who are interested can leard more about the concept here, as explained in a slidedoc by presentation guru Nancy Duarte.

 
For those who want to print it, here's the pdf file: Treating invisible disease GRACE
My hope is that people will be able to find this a very brief, understandable way to explain big ideas about cancer. This format also has the advantage of being easily sharable and can be viewed easily on many platforms, including mobile devices.  If people like the format, I'll try to present more posts in this way.  I hope you'll provide feedback.
