Pulmonary Pathology of the Novel Coronavirus in Two Patients With Lung Cancer

We’ll begin this week by discussing an article that described the pulmonary pathology of the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, which was found coincidentally in two patients undergoing surgery for lung cancer. We’ll also update you as to upcoming oncology meetings that have been canceled due to concerns about the virus.
We’ll then turn to a report that found adjuvant gemcitabine/platinum chemotherapy was associated with improved disease-free survival vs surveillance in patients with locally advanced urothelial carcinoma of the upper urinary tract.
Finally, we’ll hear a summary of an important talk given at the recent ASCO-SITC Immuno-Oncology Symposium.
