CASE-BASED LEARNING

Renaissance Los Angeles Airport Hotel
9620 Airport Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90045

Saturday, September 17, 2011

Personalized medicine for treating lung cancer is a reality. This past year there has been much new "practice-changing" data published that affects the optimal way to treat, manage and care for your patients with lung cancer. This symposium will help you improve your selection of the most appropriate new therapeutic strategies, and will also help you to identify the patient sub-populations of breast cancer who will respond to personalized therapies.

Taught by the top academic experts and best teachers, this is THE symposium on lung cancer that you should attend in 2011. This is the fourth year of this symposium and it continues to attract a full room of lung cancer clinicians who leave the program with the expert knowledge and competence needed to improve patient outcomes.
