Presentation description: 


Register for this webinar to learn about new advancements in treatment for lung cancer. Lung cancer death rates fell sharply in the US in recent years. The increased survival rate is due to new treatment options now available in medical oncology and radiation therapy, specifically for non-small-cell (NSCLC) which has been particularly significant. 

There is a stigma and shame that comes along with lung cancer that keeps many from talking about it. The dangers of smoking evolved over many years and most  diagnosed with lung cancer are former smokers who quit, but are still subjected to the disease. Others never smoked which raises a lot of other questions. 

 

Session participants will understand:

  • Types of lung cancer
  • Causes and risk factors
  • How lung cancer develops and spreads
  • New advanced lung cancer treatment options (medical oncology and radiation oncology)
  • Signs and symptoms of lung cancer
