April 6th, 2012 - by Dr. Jack West

Here are the last two parts from Dr. Weiss’s webinar presentation on “Highlights in Lung Cancer, 2011″. Following his initial focus on new work on relatively narrow subpopulations with novel molecular markers in the first two segments of his presentation, Dr. Weiss used the remainder of his time to cover issues with broader applicability. First, the new data published in 2011 that supported CT screening for higher risk people with a significant smoking history. Second, newly published data that looked at the question of whether elderly patients are best served by receiving single agent or doublet chemo for advanced NSCLC.

Following the concluding part of his presentation, we had a question and answer session, which is captured in a separate podcast.

Below are the two podcasts, each offered in both audio and video formats. In addition, there are links to the pdf files for the transcripts and figures for each of these programs. (Click on the link above for podcast links)

I hope you find these podcasts helpful and interesting.

I’ll have some new ideas and information up here in the next few days, and we’ll also be putting out the first part of the big webinar program on “Molecular Markers in Lung Cancer: Who to Test, and What to Test For” very shortly.
