Radiation Oncology Management of Lung Cancer in NC: Update on Small-Cell Lung Cancer
Ashley Weiner, MD, PhD

Ashley Weiner, MD, PhD, will focus on the role of radiotherapy for small-cell lung cancer. She will begin with an overview of radiation oncology, then walk through a patient’s pathway from initial consultation with a radiation oncologist to treatment and follow-up. Finally, she will review the indications for, logistics of, and side effects of radiation for the treatment of small cell lung cancer (limited and extensive stage).
