A New Stanford Course on Non-Smoker Lung Cancer, MED 275: From Diagnosis to Dialogue: A Doctor's Real-Time Battle with Cancer, Will Be Offered This Fall

Dr. Bryant Lin, MD, CARE Co-Founder and Co-Director, and Clinical Professor at Stanford University School of Medicine, provides a first-person perspective on receiving a diagnosis of Stage 4 “Non-Smoker” lung cancer in May 2024, which has metastasized (spread) to his brain, liver, and bones. The course will consist of Dr. Lin sharing his personal experiences accompanied by weekly talks from leading Stanford cancer clinicians and researchers discussing all aspects of Dr. Lin’s case across cancer screening, diagnostics, caregiving, policy, therapy, and spiritual care. This unique course will appeal to students interested in learning about advanced stage cancer from both the patient and physician perspectives almost in real-time. The course will be offered in Autumn Quarter 2024.
