ecancer, Succinct Medical Communications and the Royal Society of Medicine are joining forces on 1-2 September 2016 to help break down barriers in education with our two-day symposium focussed on lung cancer.

Lung cancer is still the biggest cause of cancer death in Europe and this event will give healthcare professionals the opportunity to explore the most recent and important breakthroughs in lung cancer practise.

Curated by ecancer founder Prof Gordon McVie and world-renowned lung cancer researcher Prof Michael Seckl the event has over 20 confirmed speakers spanning the breadth of thoracic oncology, ranging from immunotherapy to surgery, through to the organisation of national screening programmes.

Highlights of the meeting include keynote talks from Dr Frances Shepherd of the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre on current standards of care in advanced NSCLC, as well as Dr Nicholas McGranahan of the Francis Crick Institute discussing tumour heterogeneity and the impact on patient care.

ecancer will contribute to tackling the well-publicised care disparities across Europe and further afield by making all talks accessible to everyone for free and with no login as a webcast on ecancer.org, along with video interviews and panel discussions amongst the key figures, to help provide lung cancer knowledge to those who need it most.

Prof Seckl said ‘The idea behind this lung cancer conference is to stimulate individuals to interact with each other and to gain a better understanding of where we are now with lung cancer and the new developments that have recently come into the field’.

This meeting is one of a set of events held by ecancer this year on key topics in cancer. Keep an eye on ecancer.org for more in 2017.
