WCLC 2023 | The role of radiotherapy in treating local regional NSCLC

Shalini Vinod, MBBS, University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia, outlines the importance of radiotherapy in treating local regional non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The treatment of lung cancer often places an emphasis on systemic therapies and surgeries, causing radiotherapy to become an understated modality. Radiotherapy is crucial in locally advanced lung cancer such as stage III NSCLC. Dr Vinod emphasises that the late presentations and stages of lung cancer result in radiotherapy playing a greater role in treatment than surgery. This interview took place at the 2023 World Conference on Lung Cancer (WCLC) in Singapore, Singapore.
