AATS Focus on Thoracic Surgery: Novel Technologies in Lung Cancer

November 21 – 22 Renaissance Boston Waterfront Hotel, Boston, MA

Preliminary Scientific Program, Registration and Housing Now Available at http://aats.org/lungcancer

Program Directors:

G. Alec Patterson

David J. Sugarbaker

Program Committee Members:

Thomas A. D’Amico, Duke University

Shaf Keshavjee, University of Toronto

James D. Luketich, University of Pittsburgh

Bryan F. Meyers, Washington University

Scott J. Swanson, Brigham and Women’s Hospital

Overview:

Lung cancer is the second most common malignancy in the Western world and the most common cause of cancer-related death. Recent innovations in diagnosis, staging, and management of early stage and locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer have changed the paradigm for surgical management of lung cancer patients. A virtual explosion of technological development has enabled widespread use of minimally invasive approaches which current and future thoracic surgeons must embrace to improve the care of patients with lung cancer.

Join us in Boston once again as the AATS highlights these recent developments in its 2014 "Focus on Thoracic Surgery" program which will focus on Novel Technologies in Lung Cancer. The faculty includes internationally recognized experts in lung cancer and application of new technology for its surgical management.

Preliminary Program Highlights:

• Imaging and Staging

• Surgical Alternatives

• Simulation, Education, and Training

• Optimal Management of Lung Metastases

• Credentialing/ Efficiencies

• Intraoperative Management

• Video Sessions – Advanced Minimally Invasive Techniques

Honored Guest Speaker:

Larry R. Kaiser, Dean, Temple University School of Medicine
