Hi everyone

At the end of October, one of the leading cancer centres in the US held an online conference for cancer patients and carers. It was recorded and you can watch the sessions now. Its a brilliant opportunity to hear lots of specialist doctors talking about treatment options and new research.

I've copied the agenda below and this is the link to the recordings:

Hope you find this helpful. xx

We are pleased to share that the entire 2022 Focus on Lung Cancer meeting, held on October 28, is now available for viewing on demand for free. This annual patient conference covers the topics you care most about. This year’s meeting addressed:

· Combatting anxiety of diagnosis and therapy

· COVID-19 update

· Combining unique local treatments with drug therapies

· Test results – reading radiology reports

· Pathology – the consequences of the CURES Act

· Radiation therapy – old targets, new tools

· Role of immunotherapy and targeted therapy

· New directions in lung surgical oncology

· Survivorship and follow-up care – a Town Hall

This year’s meeting also featured a Patient Power Panel – survivors and caregivers who openly shared their experiences with lung cancer. We encourage you to view this meeting at your convenience using this link:
