Ninja Nerds,
Welcome to the Ninja Nerd Podcast with Zach and Rob! In this episode, we discuss Lung Cancer, a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. We explore the pathophysiology, risk factors, and key differences between non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC) to help you master this complex topic.
Our discussion covers the clinical presentation of lung cancer, including subtle early symptoms like cough, hemoptysis, and chest pain, as well as advanced findings such as pleural effusions, superior vena cava syndrome, and paraneoplastic syndromes.
Finally, we break down treatment strategies based on staging and tumor type, covering surgical interventions, chemotherapy regimens, immunotherapy, and targeted therapies such as EGFR and ALK inhibitors. We also review the latest advancements in precision medicine and the evolving role of molecular markers in guiding therapy.
