There’s growing agreement in the research that non-smoking #lungcancer is increasing and that our approaches to understanding and early detection haven’t kept pace.

This Trends in Cancer piece brings a lot of that thinking together in one place. #LCSM

We've made it easier for you to see the whole #BTOG26 Annual Conference programme with an interactive section on the event page https://www.btog.org/24th-btog-annual-conference-2026/. The PDF programme has been downloaded over 5000 times already, a record!!
