The Advances in Lung Cancer Evaluation and Management Online Series was repurposed from the 2012 Advances in Lung Cancer Evaluation and Management Symposium. This series will provide a clinically based overview of current issues in the multidisciplinary management of patients with lung cancer, with an emphasis on the impact of comorbidities on the selection of treatment. This series includes online Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine supplement articles and online case-based lessons.
