What you should know about TOGA ASM 2024

The TOGA ASM will provide an opportunity for our multidisciplinary membership to come together to learn of the advances in quality thoracic cancer care, to discuss their application in the local healthcare environment, and to develop cross-cutting research capacity.

The three-day meeting program will cover topical areas of thoracic cancer treatment and research, as well as feature local and international speakers.

This year’s program highlights the National Lung Cancer Screening Program (LCSP) implementation, and the changes lung cancer screening will bring to each of the major clinical disciplines involved in quality lung cancer care.

Oral abstract sessions will provide an opportunity for members to present their research. This will enable progress as TOGA was established to be outlined and invite members to engage with the TOGA leadership.

The meeting will provide an opportunity to connect and collaborate with some of the most innovative and influential minds in healthcare and clinical research.

From respiratory medicine, medical oncology, radiation oncology, surgery, pathology, nursing, allied health, and consumers you will have the opportunity to engage with everyone across the lung cancer community.
