Episode Details

Within the last few years, an “explosion of data” regarding adjuvant and neoadjuvant treatment for resectable lung cancer has contained “major wins” for patient care. Although exciting, the rapid advancement has led to questions about when chemotherapy and chemoimmunotherapy should be adopted or avoided. Bob Figlin, MD, the Steven Spielberg Family Chair in hematology-oncology at Cedars Sinai Cancer in Los Angeles, and Charu Aggarwal, MD, MPH, the Leslye M. Heisler Associate Professor for Lung Cancer Excellence at the University of Pennsylvania’s Abramson Cancer Center in Philadelphia, discuss how to apply key recent findings. They also share “the special sauce” that allows Dr. Aggarwal’s team to make the best determination for surgical timing.
