To address this evolving landscape, a panel of thoracic surgeons and medical oncologists will convene. Their discussion will encompass the changing treatment landscape, patient referral patterns, real-world concerns, and insights gained from their own practice experiences. This multidisciplinary panel aims to provide valuable perspectives on the management of early-stage NSCLC.
