Miami Cancer Institute – Lung Cancer Conference
The current state of knowledge regarding multi-modality treatment for lung cancer is continually changing and it is important for surgeons, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists and pulmonologist to stay up-to-date on the latest recommendations for the management of the disease. Dr. Mark Dylewski and the distinguished faculty from Miami Cancer Institute and Lynn Cancer Institute will discuss new advances in the management of lung cancer.
Target Audience
Internists, Hospitalists, General Practitioners, Pulmonologists, General Surgeons, Thoracic Surgeons, Obstetricians and Gynecologists, Oncologists, Radiation Oncologists, Nurses, Dietitians, Occupational Therapists, Pharmacists and techs, Respiratory Therapists, Patient Navigators and all other interested healthcare professionals.
