19-20 February 2009
Lung Cancer and Bronchology Symposium
Course description
A state of the art review on imaging, diagnosis, staging and treatment of lung cancer. New technologies aimed at imaging for early lung cancer detection, precision targeting of pulmonary nodules, endoscopic ultrasound for mediastinal staging as well as therapeutic bronchoscopic and pleuroscopic techniques for palliation will be discussed. The course features live demonstration by the expertsand allows participants to have 'hands-on' experience. In addition there are sessions on lung pathology and its precursors, new international classification for lung cancer as well as research into biomarkers for targeted therapy in the future.
Who should attend
Specialists, trainees in pulmonary medicine, oncology, thoracic surgery, pathology and researchers with interest in lung cancer. CME points will be awarded.
Note: Due to the limited number of places, the registration deadline is 8 February 2009.
There is an 'early bird' registration discount of SGD $120 before 8 February 2009.
