Lung Cancer FrontiersTM
"The purpose of Lung Cancer Frontiers is to acquire and disseminate new knowledge about lung cancer and how it can be most quickly and effectively diagnosed and treated."
History of Lung Cancer Frontiers
Dr. Thomas L. Petty founded Lung Cancer Frontiers in 1996, when he saw a need to stimulate interest in lung cancer among health care providers. Primarily written for pulmonologists, this newsletter is dedicated to advancing knowledge about lung cancer, with an emphasis on early diagnosis and treatment. In April 2008, National Jewish Health became the new home of Lung Cancer Frontiers. In January 2010, Dr. Jeffrey A. Kern, Professor of Medicine and Chief of the Division of Oncology at National Jewish Health, became Editor in Chief of Lung Cancer Frontiers.
