Once considered a uniformly lethal disease with limited treatment options, SCLC is now at the brink of change, with new therapies beginning to shed light on how to tackle this aggressive cancer. Through case studies and discussion, the program will cover evolving standards of care, practical approaches to management, and opportunities for clinical research.
This masterclass, held as a face-to-face event in Melbourne, is an advanced interactive workshop aimed at healthcare professionals and covering emerging changes in standard of care.
Participants will gain a deeper understanding of how to integrate new evidence into practice and how to contribute to the next wave of advances in SCLC.
