Abstract:
The Second European Lung Cancer Conference was held in Geneva, Switzerland from 28 April to 1 May 2010, under the cosponsorship of the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer and the European Society for Medical Oncology. The main topics included: tobacco control, which represents a crucial challenge for thoracic oncologists; personalized medicine, consisting of the identification of driver genetic alterations in patients' tumors before tailoring targeted treatment against these molecular alterations; and current developments of radiotherapy, including improvement of techniques, combination with third- or fourth-generation cytotoxic agents, and increased quality control. Overall, the conference provided lung cancer specialists with an up-to-date comprehensive overview of the most significant advances in research and treatment and enhanced multidisciplinary interactions between physicians and researchers worldwide.
