I’ve been covering bone metastases for the past several posts, because it’s an important topic that affects lots of people with cancer, and because there are many approaches that can potentially be involved. I’ll finish my coverage of that topic with one more post.
In the meantime, I’m in LA now to speak at and attend the 6th Targeted Therapies for the Treatment of Lung Cancer Conference, sponsored by the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer, or IASLC. It has the unusual format of including dozens of presentations on novel targeted agents and approaches for lung cancer, including some that are still in animal models. The speakers get only 5 minutes to cover a topic with 3-5 slides, so we can’t go into much depth. However, I’ll relay highlights of some emerging agents for everyone in the coming weeks.
