RUSH MD Anderson Cancer Center’s team of medical oncologists, thoracic surgeons and radiation oncologists works collaboratively to provide patients with advanced, comprehensive care for non-small cell lung cancer.

In this episode of Rounding at Rush, thoracic surgeon Nicole Geissen, DO, medical oncologist Koosha Paydary, MD, and radiation oncologist Gaurav Marwaha, MD, discuss their and other RUSH MD Anderson clinicians’ efforts diagnosing and treating non-small cell lung cancer.

In particular, they talk about RUSH MD Anderson’s novel lung cancer screening program, as well as innovative new therapies RUSH MD Anderson clinicians are using to improve patient outcomes.

Rush University Medical Center’s neurocritical care team treats patients with complex, emergent neurological conditions, providing them with advanced care that is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

In this episode of Rounding at Rush, Rajeev Garg, MD, chief of the Division of Neurocritical Care at Rush, talks about how Rush clinicians collaborate closely with stroke specialists and neurosurgeons to treat patients with a range of severe neurological injuries, including aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, intracerebral hemorrhage, large ischemic strokes, traumatic brain injuries, status epilepticus and spinal cord injuries.

“Time is brain. The longer an injured brain remains without treatment, the worse the damage and the worse the outcomes. As neurointensivists, our goal is to limit damage to the brain and provide patients the best possible outcomes for recovery.”

Rush cardiologists use sophisticated diagnostic and therapeutic tools and work in a collaborative, interdisciplinary manner to provide superior outcomes for patients with advanced heart failure.

Featured in this episode of Rounding at Rush are Tisha Suboc, MD, a cardiologist and the medical director of Advanced Heart Failure at Rush, and Karolina Marinescu, MD, a cardiologist and the director of the Infiltrative Cardiomyopathy Program at Rush.

“When we see patients, we see them on a continuum,” says Dr. Suboc: When we see them in the hospital, the care doesn’t just stop once they’re discharged. We take care of them from the time they’re in hospital to when they're discharged and follow them long-term.

It’s not just the patients’ heart failure team; they’re seen by their cardiologist, endocrinologist, electrophysiologist and primary care doctor. The multidisciplinary approach we use at Rush has brought us success in managing these types of patients.”
