The symposium will augment healthcare providers’ foundation of knowledge and clinical competence in several areas, including:

  •  Neoadjuvant and adjuvant treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) including specific roles of immune-checkpoint inhibitors, targeted therapy, and chemotherapy.
  • Role of different platforms, including next generation sequencing and PD-L1 assessment to identify treatment options in NSCLC.
  • Appropriate use of systemic therapy in small cell lung cancer (SCLC)
  • Novel approaches to the treatment of mesothelioma and thymic malignancies
