Course aim
This advanced multidisciplinary course, jointly organized by ESTRO, ESMO, ERS, EACTS, ESTS, ESSO aims at promoting an integrated approach to the diagnosis and management of lung cancer. The goal is to individualize the patient treatment approach based on the clinical presentation, prognostic factors, tumour extent and the patient. In the last decades, we have seen major technical and clinical improvements both for the diagnosis (including the different imaging procedures) and the treatment (surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and targeted therapies) for this very common and aggressive tumour, with clear benefit for the patients.
The course will be very interactive through the integration of lectures, debates and cases discussions and definitely multidisciplinary with a programme outlining the different treatments for lung cancer from evidence based medicine to the on-going research. The faculty will include chest physicians, radiologists, medical oncologists, thoracic surgeons and radiation oncologists.
Target group
The course is meant specialists and trainees with some expertise in radiotherapy, surgery or chemotherapy that are interested in the management of lung cancer.
