Overview
The CT Screening Symposium is a one-day, immersive, in-person event being featured at WCLC 2022 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 anecdotal experience and review current data to highlight successes and address barriers to implementation of more uniform and effective lung cancer screening around the world.
- Explore differences in implementation models including financial and policy implications
- Enhance understanding of standardized reporting of LDCT including reader education and incorporation of computer-assisted technologies
- Discuss the role of advanced technology and biomarkers to predict lung cancer risk and inform management decisions
- Understand the opportunities to leverage incidental lung nodule programs to advance the early detection of lung cancer
Learning Objectives: Explore differences in implementation models including financial, resource, political, and policy implications.
