Lung Cancer 2009: Traditional and Novel Approaches
Title: Lung Cancer 2009: Traditional and Novel Approaches Date & Time: Nov 10, 2009 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM Location: Ronald Reagan Medical Center Auditorium, B Level, Room B130 Lung cancer is a very common malignancy. Treatments are currently available for patients with all stages of disease, and much research is also being conducted to improve on currently available therapies. This talk discusses how PET/CT can help in assessing the effectiveness of a chosen treatment. By non-invasively imaging the changes of uptake of tracers such as FDG into the tumor during and after therapy important information of how well a specific therapy is working can be obtained. Ongoing clinical trials will help to find out how PET/CT can be best applied to tailor treatment of lung cancer for optimal effectiveness.
