Overview
The CT Screening Symposium is a one-day, immersive, in-person event being featured at WCLC 2023 focused on lung cancer screening technologies and best practices. Using a mix of live educational presentations and real-time expert discussions, as well as interactive live Q&A opportunities, the Symposium will address topics relevant to an international audience. Faculty will provide current data to highlight successes and address knowledge gaps. As a result of the symposium, the participant will be able to apply current knowledge to advance lung cancer screening relevant to their healthcare setting.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
- Compare differences in screening implementation models
- Critique strengths and limitations of current risk prediction tools for people who have never smoked
- Formulate diagnostics approaches to screen-detected lung lesions
- Determine the role of AI and other advanced technologies in lung screening
