The 2023 Texas Lung Cancer Conference has been recognized as a winner of BizBash's 10 Conferences That Captivate. We are proud to partner with Drs. Tina Cascone and Stephen Liu who helped bring the conference to life.
The 3rd Annual Texas Lung Cancer Conference is a premier event that convenes over 75 invited faculty members including leading national experts and community oncologists. This 2-day CE conference jointly provided by the Postgraduate Institute for Medicine and IDEOlogy is designed to provide healthcare professionals with the knowledge to navigate the increasingly complex landscape of lung cancer diagnosis and treatment.
Sessions on targeted therapy will analyze current standards of care with experts who have shaped the field, including how these standards were established, and address challenges such as resistance and toxicity. Immunotherapy sessions will provide a framework for treatment selection and review of the latest strategies to overcome and prevent resistance.
There will be discussion sessions dedicated to the treatment of early-stage lung cancer and advanced lung cancer, focusing on the latest therapeutic approaches and multidisciplinary care of these patients. Attendees will explore the latest developments in dynamic monitoring and the use of biomarkers to guide treatment decisions. They will also gain an understanding of the basics and advancements in diagnostics, including how these technologies are revolutionizing lung cancer treatment.
Special sessions will be dedicated to less common tumors like small cell lung cancer and mesothelioma as well as emerging drug classes such as antibody-drug conjugates. The expanding “Tools for Oncologists” segment will include discussions on screening, palliative care, advanced practice partners, patient advocacy, and a healthcare policy update to round out this outstanding agenda.
The conference aims to empower attendees with the latest knowledge and skills to improve patient outcomes in lung cancer treatment. The renowned faculty across academic and community practice will thoughtfully debate various treatment strategies and clinical applications with open panel discussions and ample opportunity for live question and answer sessions. This event is an opportunity to stay at the forefront of lung cancer care and equip attendees with the tools to handle the complexities of modern treatment approaches.
