The Accelerators (Drs. Matt Spraker and Simul Parikh) host the lung cancer legend, Brendon Stiles, MD. He is a Professor of Oncology, Medicine, and Thoracic Surgery at Montfiore and Albert Einstein College of Medicine.
We discuss all things lung cancer: early stage, locally advanced, staging, quality, and more.
The episode is capped with Simul's Lighting Round. Good luck Brendon!
We hope you enjoy this #MedEd instant classic!
