The conference is open to all physicians and nurses to learn about the epidemiology of lung cancer in Arkansas, the current treatments, new surgical and non-surgical technologies, tobacco cessation and future directions of care.

There will be separate sessions open to community and advocate groups to learn about access to cancer care, smoking cessation resources, and opportunities to meet with physicians, researchers, and cancer survivors.

At this Lung Cancer Symposium we will be presenting the most current research, and state of the art technological advances in our fight against lung cancer.
