Guest: Nasser Altorki, M.D.

Nasser Altorki, MD, chief of thoracic surgery at NewYork-Presbyterian and Weill Cornell Medicine, shares the results of a first-of-its-kind study evaluating low-dose radiation combined with immunotherapy for neoadjuvant treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tumors.
