Global Lung Cancer Academy

Sharing Best Practices to Optimize Patient Care in Europe

Overview

In recent years, progress in screening of high-risk populations, identification of actionable molecular targets, and immunotherapy have rapidly transformed the treatment paradigm for patients with lung cancer. Aptitude Health developed the Global Lung Cancer Academy to help physicians bridge the gap between innovation and implementation for patient care.

Agenda

This 2-day interactive virtual meeting with global experts will focus on the management of patients with lung cancer in Europe.

DAY 1: Follow presentations on the optimal management of early-stage NSCLC, join a debate on neoadjuvant vs adjuvant therapy, and engage with the faculty in panel discussions

DAY 2: Learn about treatment strategies for patients with metastatic NSCLC and attend patient case-based panel discussion exemplifying these strategies
