Welcome Messages
Dear Colleagues and Friends,
It is our great pleasure and honour to extend a warm invitation to attend and participate in the 14th National Lung Cancer Conference 2023 to be held in Rohtak from 23rd-24th September 2023.
Over the last decade lung cancer management has seen path-breaking progress and ISSLC with annual NALCCON has provided a platform for sharing cutting-edge research, updates and creating space for new collaborations.
With recent advances, management paradigm for lung cancer has developed into a multidisciplinary and convoluted maze of an algorithm. This is the time to promote collaborations, include different specialities and have representations from physicians, nurses, patients and their caregivers. It is time to talk about topics which have found limited space in the traditional teaching but remains a major part of care.
We hope you will be a part of NALCCON’s ongoing success story and join us at Rohtak for an exciting program with wide-ranging and multidisciplinary content. In oral abstracts, video abstracts, poster presentations and quiz competitions, apart from sessions from stalwarts of Oncology, Pulmonology and Thoracic Surgery, we will cover the latest advances in screening, staging and treatment, providing you with an exceptional educational experience.
We look forward to welcoming you to an inspiring, educational, and enjoyable program in Rohtak.
