Rare Neurological Disease Special Report
Our sixth annual Rare Neurological Disease Special Report is our biggest issue yet. It is very gratifying to know we are part of the rare disease community and witness to some of the exciting developments that are transforming this field. There are many newly approved therapies highlighted in the articles in this issue, as well as brief profiles of a number of research groups within the NIH’s Rare Diseases Clinical Research Network and an intriguing profile of how the Netflix show Diagnosis used crowdsourcing to solve medical mysteries, many of which involved rare neurologic conditions. That’s just a sampling of what this issue has to offer. There are too many articles to mention each one, but I hope you take the time to read the entire issue.

State of Practice: Unresectable Stage III NSCLC
In this issue of CHEST Clinical Perspectives, CHEST is undertaking primary research with pulmonologists to assess perceptions regarding curative intent when it comes to treating patients diagnosed with stage III NSCLC. The objectives of this research are to:
- Understand the role of the pulmonologist in diagnostic process, including diagnosis, cell type, staging.
- Understand the process of referral for treatment of patients with stage III NSCLC diagnosed in pulmonary practices, including frequency of referral to oncology and barriers to referral.
- Understand knowledge levels about stage III NSCLC, including differences between patients with stage III and stage IV and how that impacts referral for treatment.
- Understand the extent to which pulmonologists consider stage III patients to be in a curative state.
