At our #BTOG26 Annual Conference last week, we presented our inaugural BTOG Awards for persons who have made a real difference to the care, treatment, or research for patients with thoracic malignancies. Congratulations to our winners!
Last week we attended the UK’s leading lung cancer conference hosted by the British Thoracic Oncology Group (BTOG).
Our Director of Mission Services connected with professionals, joined advocacy discussions, and presented a joint poster on the See Through the Symptoms campaign.
