Public Health student interested in Lung Cancer Stigma Research & Lung Cancer Screening Programs
We are excited to invite you and your colleagues to the American Cancer Society National Lung Cancer Roundtable’s 5th Annual Meeting! Details for this virtual event are below: Theme: Disparities to Equity: Moving the Needle on Lung Cancer Date: Monday, December 6th and Tuesday, December 7th Time: 10:00am-4:00pm ET/7:00am-1:00pm PT each day Registration is now open! The meeting will feature the work of those who are shaping a more equitable direction to lung cancer care and control in areas such as risk reduction, early detection, tobacco prevention and treatment, diagnosis and therapy, survivorship, and policy. The overarching goal of the meeting is to address the determinants of minority health and cancer-related health disparities to advance health equity across the lung cancer continuum. This virtual meeting will be highlighted by keynote presentations and conversations led by Monica Webb Hooper, PhD, Deputy Director of the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities, and Robert A. Winn, MD, Director of the Massey Cancer Center at Virginia Commonwealth University. In addition, the NLCRT will showcase its strategic priority committees’ work and its initiatives that focus on eliminating lung cancer stigma, promoting lung cancer screening implementation, uptake, and adherence, and optimizing lung cancer biomarkers in practice. Through the NLCRT, we are working to ensure that no one is disadvantaged in their fight against lung cancer because of their socioeconomic status, their race or ethnicity, their sexual orientation, their gender identity, their disability status, their insurance status, or where they live. Since we will be hosting the meeting once again virtually, we are pleased at the opportunity to offer attendance at no cost and all are welcome, including clinicians, researchers, public health experts, advocates, and individuals at risk for lung cancer or those diagnosed with lung cancer, and their families. https://lnkd.in/gxJFezyp
