Panel Discussions on Molecular Markers in Advanced Lung Cancer: Check them out!

May 4th, 2012 - by Dr. Jack West

Here are a couple of additional installments from our special two hour webinar on molecular markers in advanced NSCLC, broadcast from the Santa Monica Targeted Therapies in Lung Cancer conference and featuring four great panelists who joined me that day:

  • Drs. Charlie Rudin, Johns Hopkins University
  • Dr. Alice Shaw, Massachusetts General Hospital
  • Dr. David Spigel, Sarah Cannon Cancer Center
  • Dr. Glen Goss, University of Ottawa, and head of NCI-Canada’s Lung Cancer Committee

Part three of our program includes some debate on the merits of uniform vs. more selective testing of “druggable” targets, as well as a discussion of whether to favor simultaneous testing for molecular targets vs. a sequential, stepwise approach (because the key relevant targets are mutually exclusive).  We also review the challenge of delays in treatment that can emerge as a byproduct of weeks of up front testing.

Below you’ll find the audio and video versions of the podcast, along with the transcript and figures for this activity.

Initial Presentations from Santa Monica Targeted Therapies Discussion: Drs. Rudin and Shaw

April 20th, 2012 - by Dr. Jack West

Here is the introduction and first two presentations from our special webinar at the Santa Monica “Targeted Therapies in Lung Cancer” meeting several weeks ago. I was honored to be joined there by four guest faculty members who are true experts in the field — Dr. Charles Rudin from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Dr. Alice Shaw from Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, Dr. David Spigel from Sarah Cannon Cancer Center in Nashville, and Dr. Glen Goss from the University of Ottawa. We discussed the complexity of this evolving field and where our perspectives converge and differ.

Immediately below are the audio and video versions of the first podcast, with introductory comments and then a presentation by Dr. Rudin on the Lung Cancer Mutation Consortium. You’ll also find links to the transcript and figures.

Concluding Portions of Dr. Weiss’s “Highlights in Lung Cancer, 2011″ Program Now Available

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.

New Podcasts on Smoking Cessation and Lung Cancer Highlights of 2011

March 16th, 2012 - by Dr. Jack West

Here are a pair of podcasts completed several months ago.  The first is by Dr. Mark Millard, Professor of Pulmonology at Baylor University and Medical Director of the Martha Foster Lung Care Center in Dallas, TX.  In an exhaustive discussion, he covers how physicians can effectively discuss quitting with patients and how someone motivated to quit can use a wide range of tools to improve their chance of cure.

Below you’ll find the podcast in both audio and video formats along with the transcript and figures for the program.
