Lung Cancer is still the leading cause of death not only in Latin America but worldwide. Building on the success of the previous conference in 2010 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, international and national speakers will discuss the science and advances in the treatment and prevention of lung cancer.
With tobacco being the leading cause of morbi-mortality worldwide and it’s consumption leading to respiratory and cardiovascular disease, as well as cancer, causing the loss of 800,000 otherwise healthy Brazilian lives every year, the Conference would like to support the Framework Convention for Tobacco Control and will again host a Tobacco Forum on Wednesday, July 25.
The Scientific Program will feature basic and translational research, molecular diagnosis and prognostic factors, early diagnosis, targeted and individualized therapies, surgical and clinical management of lung cancer including radiotherapy and supportive care.
Abstract Submission Deadline March 30, 2012
25 to 27 July 2012 Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
