Personalized Lung Cancer

September 26, 2009 · Philadelphia, PA

Sheraton Philadelphia City Center Hotel

Taught by the top academic experts in lung cancer and head and neck cancer this is THE symposium on thoracic malignancies that you should attend in 2009. It contains the relevant data from the recent ASCO and the World Lung Cancer Congress. Personalized medicine for treating thoracic malignancies is a reality. This symposium will help clinicians improve their selection of the most appropriate therapeutics, and will also help clinicians to identify the patient sub-populations of lung cancer and head and neck cancer who will respond to specific drug therapies.
