Welcome
Dear Colleagues and Friends,
We are excited to invite you to join us at the 9th International Lung Cancer Network (ILCN) taking place on site at Athens, Greece from Friday 23rd to Sunday 25th June 2023.
This bi-annual international lung cancer meeting continues its tradition of multidisciplinary networking, by bringing together some of the top lung cancer experts, from across the globe. Debates, State-of-the Art lectures, multidisciplinary sessions, and extended panel discussions will encourage interaction with the faculty members and will address ongoing clinical challenges and controversies, in current lung cancer management. Participants will have the opportunity to understand the reasoning behind clinical trials, the interpretation of the results and the application in the clinical practice, for the optimal patient care. International lung cancer experts from the basic and clinical research, the academia and the industry will share their personal experiences and will present early clinical data, ongoing clinical trials, innovative technologies, and strategies, in the effort to provide state–of–the art care today and shape the future of lung cancer management.
We invite you to save the date for the 9th International Lung Cancer Network (ILCN) in Athens, Greece (23rd – 25th June 2023).
We hope you will join us on site for this very informative and timely meeting.
