Friday, October 18, 2002 to Sunday, October 20, 2002
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 the prior conferences, the diagnostic component of screening has been emphasized in order to gain further understanding of the relevant issues. This focused effort has resulted in the development of the I-ELCAP diagnostic protocol. The radiologic component of this protocol has had wide acceptance by a large number of institutions. The pathologic component has also been developed and according to its specifications, an Expert Pathology Panel has reviewed more than 100 screen-diagnosed and resected cases and these results will be reported.We then turn our focus on the prognosis of these screen-diagnosed cancers -- that is, their significance in terms of their course without and with treatment. Further topics include treatment alternatives and their future evaluation.
