Lung cancer remains probably the most challenging area of cancer research. Despite years of research into new treatments, the survival rate from lung cancer remains one of the lowest of all cancers.
At the dawn of personalized healthcare, huge hopes rest upon new strategies capable of better selecting patients for targeted drugs as well as on new strategies capable of interfering with the molecular mechanisms of this disease.
The objective of this scientific meeting will be to to bring together in Luxembourg some of the world leaders in lung cancer to discuss recent advances and to explore new avenues for research.
