Kicking off day 2 #TexasLung26: @IyengarPuneeth shows outstanding questions in SCLC: 💬What is a role of PCI now in limited stage? 💬Should we still use consolidation RT in extensive disease? @TLCconference

Kicking off day two of #TexasLung26 with "Small Cell Lung Cancer" led by Dr. @WadeIams at 8:30 AM. See you there! @IyengarPuneeth @drshieldsmd @NouraChoudhury @NaglaAKarimMD @RManochakian @teekayowo ow.ly/FSTV50YCRsV

Day 2 of #TexasLung26 starts off with a session all about small cell lung cancer. “There is tangible progress for patients with SCLC and their families.” @drshieldsmd

@DrShieldsMD at #TexasLung26: "Dawn of a revolution in therapy for SCLC". This year's slide shows the progress we've made. Look forward to @TheShieldsLab moving the needle for this aggressive cancer! @TLCconference

BIG take aways on small cell💥 1) trilaciclib + lurbi to support cytopenias 2) consider trial looking at consolidative RT 3) tarla in 2nd line v. trial 4) consider imFORTE if tolerated chemo IO w/ response , esp w/ liver Mets 5) tarla > platinum rechallenge? 6) biomarkers

So grateful to all of our faculty at #TexasLung26 - can’t wait for day 2 tomorrow! @TLCconference
