Symposium: The stage I non-small-cell lung cancer
What a pulmonologist and thoracic surgeon should know
Aims : This session aims to provide a comprehensive and updated overview of issues related to early stage lung cancer that are still being
debated. These issues include the optimal diagnostics, the benefits of molecular diagnostics and biomarkers, the factors that influence the
treatment outcome, and the rapidly changing spectrum of surgical options for stage I NSCLC.

Symposium: Occupational lung disease worldwide
Aims : It is well known that industrial regulations and permissible exposure limits are rarely followed by the industries in developing
countries. The reason for this is that more than 80% of the polluting industries belong to informal sectors. As a result, very little
information is available at the government level regarding the numbers and structural and functional patterns of these industries and the
kinds of materials that they use. Therefore, occupational respiratory diseases in developing countries largely remain undiagnosed or
misdiagnosed. The evidence to date suggests that industry has an alarming effect on both the health of the workers and the economy of
developing countries. The aim of this session is to highlight some of the current issues surrounding occupational respiratory problems in
developing countries. Future research directions and treatment policies that will improve diagnosis and prevent occupational respiratory
disease will be discussed.
Track(s) : Epidemiology / Environment Physiology
