In the first episode of the LungCancerRx video podcast, cohosts Eric K. Singhi, MD, a thoracic oncologist in Houston; Aakash Desai, MD, MPH, an assistant professor at the University of Alabama at Birmingham’s O’Neal Cancer Center; and Fawzi Abu Rous, MD, a thoracic medical oncologist at Henry Ford Health in Detroit; are joined by patient advocate Jill Feldman. They talk about her experience with lung cancer – both her own and her family members’ – and why it is so important for individual patients to be heard and placed at the center of care. Communication is key to maintaining that focus, and the hosts seek insights into how providers can be present during appointments and how patients cope.
