In collaboration with The McGill University Health Centre (Dr. Jonathan Spicer) and Le Centre Hospitalier De l’Université de Montréal (Dr. Normand Blais), we are thrilled to announce the second annual international conference entitled Early-stage Lung cancer International eXpert Retreat - #ELIXR25.
This 2 day conference will be held in Montreal from June 19th and 20th, 2025. Last year’s event included the top names in early-stage lung cancer from a number of disciplines across the globe including Drs. Valsamo Anagnostou, Tina Cascone and Patrick Forde. We look 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.
