ALKtALK talk with Dr Alice Shaw

Meet the Queen of Alk, Dr. Alice Shaw. Join Dr. Shaw and Gina Hollenbeck for an informal chat as they discuss Dr. Shaw's take on how treatment for the ALK Positive mutation has evolved and where it is going. Bone metastasis, pregnancies and fertility while taking tki's, and treatment dosing are just a few of the topics covered. Dr. Alice Shaw worked for over 15 years at Massachusetts General Hospital as a clinical trial investigator. She helped lung cancer evolve from a disease with few options, to one of hope with clinically proven therapies. Dr. Shaw continues to push the envelope as the Global Head of Translational Clinical Oncology at the Novartis Institutes for BioMedical Research. WATCH VIDEO
