Multidisciplinary Thoracic Cancers Symposium - 2017
March 16-18, 2017
San Francisco Marriot Marquis
The 2017 Multidisciplinary Thoracic Cancer Symposium is a two-and-a-half day meeting featuring interactive case discussions; educational sessions on new multidisciplinary therapies, new targeted therapies, immunotherapy, treatment and screening guidelines, supportive care; and oral abstract sessions highlighting the most current, evidence-based practices. The goal of this meeting is to provide participants with updates on current early phase clinical and translational initiatives in thoracic malignancies, including targeted therapy, immunotherapy, advanced radiation and surgical methodologies, and pathological advancements in molecular categorization that are relevant to daily clinical practice. Additionally, the attendees will be updated on the appropriate integration of all the advancements in their daily practice, including indication, patient selection, combinations of different therapeutic modalities, prevention and management of common toxicities.
Target Audience
This meeting is designed to meet the interests of medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, surgeons, physicists, nurses, diagnostic radiologists, pulmonologists and pathologists.
Learning Objectives
