Dr Donington is a professor of surgery and chief of the Section of Thoracic Surgery in the Department of Surgery at the University of Chicago Comprehensive Cancer Center in Illinois.

In part 2 of our exclusive 2-part interview, Drs Donington and Stiles discussed the implications of perioperative immunotherapy trials on early-stage disease management, definitions of resectability, and the incorporation of new guidance regarding multidisciplinary management according to the American Association of Thoracic Surgery, Society of Thoracic Surgeons, and National Comprehensive Cancer Network.
