This symposium will have international experts presenting lectures and symposia addressing current and future approaches to treating lung, chest, and head and neck cancers.

Educational sessions offer a comprehensive update on diagnosis, state of the art therapeutics and current research directions in lung cancers with specific sessions covering non-small and small cell lung cancer.
During the course of the three days, registrants will have an opportunity to attend educational sessions, as well as view the latest clinical and research findings in both formal and informal oral and poster sessions.
The target audience includes radiation, medical and surgical oncologists, nurses, scientists, residents-in-training and other healthcare professionals interested in the treatment, screening, evaluation and management of thoracic cancers. An audience of 1000 is expected.
