IASLC's Guide to COVID-19 and Lung Cancer

Access to CME

Early in the COVID-19 Pandemic the IASLC collected member and patient experiences with COVID-19 as a way to pool knowledge and connect our members during the public health crisis. These stories, information from the Journal of Thoracic Oncology (JTO), and official statements from the IASLC continue to be published on this page. In addition, this page will feature links to important resources such as journal articles and social media groups relevant to the care of patients with lung cancer.
