Hearing from World-Renowned Lung Cancer Experts
Recordings Now Available
At the 2023 LUNGevity International Lung Cancer Survivorship Conference (ILCSC) in September we brought together lung cancer experts from around the world. In total, 901 people from 64 countries registered to hear from these experts on some of the most exciting advancements in the field.
They touched on the challenges people with lung cancer are currently facing, such as brain metastasis, cachexia, and histological transformation of non-small cell lung cancer to small cell lung cancer. We also hosted three international panel discussions that shined a light on the realities of lung cancer care in different countries.
One of the highest attended sessions was on Integrative Medicine with specialists from MD Anderson Cancer Center.
“I got tons of great info and some of my questions answered! I feel we will go to dad’s next appointment well-prepared!”

It’s not too late! You can still register and get access to recordings of all the sessions until December 21, 2023
