Thoracic Masterclass: All About Collaboration: Maximizing Outcome in Thoracic Surgery Part II | Recorded at the AATS 106th Annual Meeting

Examine the multidisciplinary strategies shaping modern thoracic oncology in this masterclass recorded at the AATS 106th Annual Meeting. Through expert presentations, debates, and panel discussions, faculty explore the collaborative management of thymic malignancies, complex post-induction resections involving major vascular structures, emerging bronchoscopic technologies for non-small cell lung cancer, and the role of extrathoracic pulmonary metastasectomy. Gain insights into evolving treatment paradigms and the critical decision-making processes that optimize outcomes for patients with complex thoracic cancers.

This session includes the following presentations: 

  • Medical Optimization and Induction of Resectable Thymic Disease
  • Post Induction Thymic Resections for Arch and Great vessel involvement
  • Panel Discussion
  • Evolving Bronchscopic Technology for Diagnosis and Treatment Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
  • Extrathoracic SP Lung Resections for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: Benefits/Hazards
  • Panel Discussion
  • Debate: Resectability Should be Determined Prior to Induction | Pro
