Here’s the third of 3 parts of the webinar by Dr. Kratz. He describes some of the work he and his group have done that supports the value of a gene signature-based test to estimate risk of recurrence in stage I NSCLC. In addition, he then proposes a potential way to integrate this information into a staging system for NSCLC that can help refine prognosis and identify patients who might be especially well served to pursue additional treatment after surgery.

Apologies for the difficulty with the audio — we definitely wanted to include a transcript for this one, given the technical nature of some of the presentation, and the muffled sound in some of it. Still, I hope it’s a helpful, interesting webinar topic for people.
