Conference Mission
The broadest mission of these Conferences is the collective pursuit of avant-garde understanding of the issues surrounding screening for lung cancer, the broadest subissues being early diagnosis and early intervention. Any given Conference focuses on issues that are particularly topical at the time.
As always, we provide an update on research and practice of screening for lung cancer. In addition, we focus on methodologic issues in view of the current controversy about mammography screening. Thus, issues surrounding the results of these randomized controlled trials for breast cancer will be addressed. We feel that discussion about these issues is important as the experience in screening for breast cancer should provide guidance in the planning of future investigations of screening for lung cancer. Also reported at this conference will be the efforts in pursuing consensus on the issues of intervention in the context of screen-detected abnormalities, including a possible randomized treatment trial on a subset of suspicious nodules or pathologically diagnosed cases of malignancies with uncertain prognosis.
