EGFR-Mutated Lung Cancer Perspectives

In these videos, Thomas Waddington, MD, assistant clinical professor in the department of medicine, division of pulmonary and critical care medicine at City of Hope National Medical Center discussed:

• a pulmonologic perspective of lung cancer mutations, including EGFR mutations;
• the role of the pulmonologist in lung cancer diagnosis and the determination of disease stage, including the tools used to diagnose;
• how pulmonologists collaborate with oncologists after a patient is diagnosed with lung cancer and what the post-treatment monitoring process is like for pulmonologists;
• what pulmonologists should know about lung cancer mutations;
• what pulmonologists should be staying up to date on in terms of lung cancer treatments; and
• what future research into lung cancer mutations should focus on from a pulmonology perspective.
