National Knowledge Week on Lung Cancer: 19-23 November 2007

The second Lung Cancer NKW will be launched on 19 November and this update will feature a number of new topics as well as updating the literature on others including:

* Second line chemotherapy in Small Cell Lung Cancer
* Prophylactic cranial radiotherapy in extensive stage Small Cell Lung Cancer
* PET scanning & multi-slice CT
* Symptomatic detection in primary care.
* Neo-adjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy in NSCLC
* Biological and targeted agents
* Screening

The contents for NKWs are developed on the basis of ‘hot topics’ suggested by members of an Advisory Panel who provide high quality summaries which are linked to the latest published evidence. Summaries and resources are organised by topic area and links provided to the relevant guidance, systematic reviews and clinical trials. Full information about contributors is provided, together with a comprehensive resources page with quick links to information about statistics, epidemiology, databases, appraisal tools, clinical trial portals and lung cancer charities.

The Cancer Specialist Library encourages users and contributors to feedback via the ‘contact us’ form on the website.
