IASLC introduces new educational offerings on its website to its membership and healthcare professionals who manage patients with lung cancer. The first program, "New Developments in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer" features three presentations. In a two-part presentation, Professor Peter Goldstraw, MD reviews the fundaments of the new lung cancer staging system, and examines the role of TNM in the staging of patients with small cell lung cancer. The new, updated IASLC nodal staging map is also reviewed. In another presentation, Dr. Paul Bunn, Jr. addresses the incorporation of molecular testing into the standard diagnostic workup of patients with NSCLC, and the selection of appropriate treatment for patients. The program concludes with case presentations by Drs. Paul Bunn Jr., and Harvey I. Pass illustrating the use of the new staging system and molecular testing.
