• Advance Multidisciplinary Care in Lung Cancer: Make use of evidence-based strategies across surgery, radiation, medical oncology, pathology, radiology, nursing, and supportive care to optimize outcomes for patients with lung cancer.

• Evaluate Innovations in Screening, Early Detection, and Risk Reduction: Assess advances in lung cancer screening programs, novel imaging, and the role of prevention strategies—including tobacco control and occupational risk mitigation—to reduce disease burden.

• Implement Personalized Treatment Approaches: Apply current evidence on molecular testing, biomarker-driven therapies, and targeted treatments—including ADCs, TKIs, and immunotherapies—to tailor interventions for diverse patient populations.

• Explore the Evolving Landscape of Immunotherapy: Critically evaluate emerging data on immune checkpoint inhibitors, combination strategies, bispecifics, and their management in special populations such as patients with autoimmune diseases, transplants, or brain metastases.

• Enhance Management of Early and Locally Advanced Disease: Discuss best practices and evolving approaches for resectable and unresectable NSCLC, including neoadjuvant, adjuvant, and perioperative strategies, as well as advanced radiotherapy and ablative techniques.

• Address Challenges in SCLC, NENs, and Rare Thoracic Tumors: Examine new diagnostic, molecular, and therapeutic developments in small cell lung cancer, neuroendocrine tumors, mesothelioma, and thymic malignancies to improve patient care.

• Integrate Novel Diagnostic and Monitoring Tools: Evaluate the utility of advanced imaging, multiomic analyses, liquid biopsies (including ctDNA and methylation), and digital pathology in staging, treatment response, and surveillance.

• Improve Care Delivery in Resource-Limited and Diverse Settings: Identify barriers and implement solutions for equitable access to molecular testing, precision oncology, and advanced therapies in low- and middle-income countries and underserved populations.

• Promote Shared Decision-Making and Patient-Centered Care: Model approaches to communication, survivorship planning, and addressing quality of life, emphasizing patient preferences, advocacy, and integrative care.

• Foster Interactive Learning and Collaborative Problem-Solving: Apply new knowledge to complex clinical scenarios and enhance decision-making in lung cancer care by engaging in case-based discussions, polling, and multidisciplinary debates.

The IASLC 2025 World Conference on Lung Cancer (WCLC 2025) is the world’s largest international conference for clinicians, researchers and scientists in the field of lung cancer and thoracic oncology. Bringing together lung cancer specialists from around the world and across disciplines, the conference offers opportunities for learning and sharing the latest developments in lung cancer and thoracic malignancy research, prevention, diagnosis, treatment and management. With 20 educational tracks and over 300 global experts as invited speakers, WCLC 2025 provides a robust, comprehensive scientific program encompassing cutting edge knowledge on subjects such as tumor biomarkers, clinical trials, targeted therapies, liquid biopsy, lung cancer screening, immunotherapy, tobacco control and patient advocacy. Sessions include plenaries with live Q&A, expert lectures, panel discussions, oral abstracts and posters.

The IASLC 2025 World Conference on Lung Cancer is designed to meet the educational needs of researchers and healthcare professionals who diagnose and treat patients with lung cancer, including medical oncologists, thoracic surgeons, pulmonologists, radiation oncologists, radiologists, pathologists, advanced practice nurses, and physician assistants.

The official language of the IASLC 2025 World Conference on Lung Cancer is English.
