Program Overview
Join us for a Free two-hour CME-accredited course on learning and sharing with the Lung Cancer Screening experts from NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia University Irving Medical Center. Our outstanding team of Physicians and Nurse Practitioners will share their expertise in care for smokers and ex-smokers at high risk for lung cancer and other complications. They assess and treat lung cancer with standard medical therapy, investigational protocols, and surgical therapy while providing an overview of screening and treatment strategies. The program will include; causes, signs and symptoms, risk factors and screening, as well as innovative approaches to treatment and long-term management. The format of this program will consist of lectures, case studies, and interactive discussions.
Learning Objectives
- Identify unique aspects and treatments of lung cancer development for smokers and ex-smokers
