Overview
Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer-related deaths and second most common malignancy in the Western world. Recent innovations in diagnosis, staging and management of early stage and locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer have changed the paradigm for patient surgical management. There has also been a virtual explosion of technological developments enabling widespread use of minimally invasive techniques, which current and future thoracic surgeons will need to embrace in order to improve patient care.
Join AATS in Boston for the 2014 Focus On Thoracic Surgery whose program will focus on recent developments in Novel Technologies in Lung Cancer. The faculty includes internationally recognized experts in the field, including those knowledgeable about the use of new technology in lung cancer surgical management.
