 Teaming up to catch the winds of change in thoracic oncology
The European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO), the European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology (ESTRO), the European Society of Thoracic Surgeons (ESTS) and the European Respiratory Society (ERS) have identified the need to cooperate in the education of healthcare professionals treating malignant chest tumors.
A regular multidisciplinary, educational meeting on this topic is considered important for strengthening general knowledge and providing an updated overview of prevention, screening, diagnosis, treatment modalities and results of translational research. This Conference facilitates interaction between the specialities in order to promote an integrated approach to diagnosis and treatment of chest tumors and to strengthen European cooperation and scientific exchange in multidisciplinary management of lung cancer. |
