Agenda: 35th Conference Agenda
Mission:
The broadest mission of these Conferences is collective pursuit of understanding the issues surrounding early diagnosis and early treatment of lung cancer. Starting with the Early Lung Cancer Action Program (ELCAP), which evolved into the International I-ELCAP, the focus has always been on practice-relevant research. Now that CT screening for lung cancer is being implemented throughout the world, the focus of this conference is on the practice-relevant research needed for further identification and quantification of the findings in screening and on the development of computer-aided assessment based on the I-ELCAP cohort on CT screening and the IELCART cohort on treatment for early stage lung cancer.
