The next portion of Dr. Leighl's "Highlights of Lung Cancer from 2012" webinar focused on exciting research presented at ASCO 2012 and very recently published on the potential efficacy of a new class of targeted therapy, called MEK inhibitors, for the large subset of patients who have a KRAS mutation.

Dr. Leighl, lung cancer expert from Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto, continued her summary of the leading highlights in lung cancer from 2012 with coverage of new information on XALKORI for patients with either an ALK rearrangement or the newly identified ROS-1 rearrangement.  

Here is the first of the awaited podcasts from Dr. Natasha Leighl's presentation on "Highlights in Lung Cancer from 2012".  Dr.
