Early stage lung cancer: road to a cure

Dear colleagues,
It is my great pleasure to invite you to attend an international meeting “Early Stage Lung cancer:The Road to cure NSCLC” which will be held in Rome, the Eternal city, at San Camillo Forlanini Hospital on November 25th.
The aim of our one-day interactive course is to Increase your understanding of the current evidence for early lung cancer detection and screening, as well of international successes and challenges regarding the implementation of screening programs. We will assess the newest criteria for screening, the role of biomarkers and we will learn how to manage screening detected nodules. Great attention will be paid to the different techniques employed to localize screening detected nodules. Interaction with internationally renowned experts and colleagues from around the globe via live Q&A will be possible for attendants.
The course will be offered in an hybrid version: most Faculty members will attend in-person, while attendants will follow online via our platform (preferred choice) or, in a small number, subject to COVID-19 restrictions, in-person.
Looking forward to meeting you in Rome.

Giuseppe Cardillo
