Video: Shrish Gadgeel, MD: Understanding Lung Cancer: NSCLC vs. SCLC

"And even if we did not see evidence of lymph node metastasis, we assume the cancer has spread somewhere else and therefore we need to give treatment that goes everywhere. And when it comes to small cell lung cancer, as of now the treatment that goes everywhere is chemotherapy." Learn about the differences between Non Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) and Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC) in this Expert Speaker video.
