NikoleV Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Factors Leading To A Recommendation on Post-Operative Chemotherapy for Early Stage Lung Cancer: Case In Point video February 15th, 2013 - by Dr. Jack West http://expertblog.lungevity.org/2013/02 ... isk-tumor/ I wanted to start a new video series that will provide illustrative cases from my clinic that introduce broader teaching points. This first video covers the decision-making process that led me to recommend post-operative (adjuvant) chemotherapy for a patient who had a 3.5 cm lung adenocarcinoma resected, and who had no lymph node involvement. We typically recommend chemo only for larger node-negative lung cancers, but her particular cancer had some other features that made me concerned enough about her risk of recurrence to favor at least a good consideration of chemotherapy. Here’s my discussion of some of the variables that are relevant in this setting. Click link above to view video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
