The IASLC 2025 Hot Topic Meeting: Unraveling Precancer and Early-Stage Lung Cancer is a biannual international meeting dedicated to the latest preclinical and translational advances in the earliest phases of lung carcinogenesis. This meeting brings together leading scientists, clinicians, and multidisciplinary experts to explore the biological foundations of precancerous lesions and early-stage lung tumors.
The program offers a comprehensive examination of the molecular and cellular mechanisms that initiate and drive early lung cancer development, including emerging biomarkers, novel diagnostic strategies, and evolving models of tumor evolution and progression. Sessions spanning diverse topics from early detection biology and immunologic shifts to single-cell analyses, therapeutic vulnerabilities, and precision interception approaches, provide attendees with deep insight into both the scientific underpinnings and potential clinical applications.
By emphasizing the continuum from discovery science to early intervention, this meeting equips laboratory researchers, translational investigators, and clinicians with the knowledge needed to advance personalized strategies for early detection, risk stratification, and treatment. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage with global experts, gain awareness of cutting-edge research and ongoing clinical translation, and contribute to a shared mission of improving outcomes for patients at the earliest points of lung cancer care.
