30+ years experience with surgical treatment of lung cancer
I have been working on an organized description of recent advances in lung cancer treatment
I have used this knowledge in recommending successful treatments to my patients
I have been a Chairman of our local multidisciplinary thoracic tumor board working closely with medical oncologists and radiation oncologists
Surgical treatment has traditionally been the mainstay of lung cancer treatment
Many patients with surgically resected lung cancer recur and it was learned that post-operative or adjuvant chemotherapy extended the survival rate and decreased the recurrence rate
