This year’s event includes some top names in early-stage lung cancer from a number of disciplines across the globe including Dr. Luis Corrales Rodriguez, Dr. Silvia Formenti, Dr. Gavitt Woodward and many others. We are happy to invite another impressive group of comprehensive and multi-disciplinary experts that share a common goal of improving outcomes for early-stage lung cancer patients and have active basic, translational and clinical research programs that delineate the path to achieve such improvements.
The goal of this meeting is to build a tightly knit network of international experts to align on several key topics in early-stage lung cancer with a specific focus on current challenges and knowledge gaps. Ideas that will improve outcomes for patients in the most rapid, effective, and meaningful way possible are the top objective.
