The 2008 Chicago Multidisciplinary Symposium in Thoracic Oncology (formerly the Chicago Symposium on Malignancies of the Chest and Head and Neck) will bring together physician specialists, from North America and abroad, presenting lectures and symposia on an interdisciplinary approach for the treatment of thoracic cancers.  The scientific program will provide information on the latest developments in basic and clinical research. The meeting is co-sponsored by ASTRO, the American Society of Clinical Oncology, the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer and the University of Chicago.

Radiation therapy, surgery and chemotherapy are used together to treat lung cancer and a multidisciplinary meeting will promote interaction between these disciplines in order to achieve advances in patient care.

Call for abstracts will open in April 2008. Meeting information can be found at http://www.oncologymeetings.org/lung.htm   Questions can be sent to education@astro.org.
