Two Onc Docs

This week's episode focuses on early-stage and locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer - staging, pathology, local and systemic therapy. Before we start, the usual caveat: the treatment landscape of NSCLC is changing FAST, which is exciting, but know that the boards run a few years behind. The big shifts since our last episode are the move to 9th-edition TNM staging and the arrival of four different perioperative chemo+immunotherapy regimens.
