Overview

In the emerging era of advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and robots, it is important to give less developed countries a motive to make lung cancer screening more efficient using published data representing the state of the art techniques, and stimulating local authorities to initiate annual screening programmes for smoking and non-smoking individuals.

Topics:

• Global application of the lung cancer screening programmes.

Format

One-hour webinar format: 45 minutes for presentation, followed by a 15-minute Q&A session.

What is a webinar?

A webinar closely simulates a lecture-based teaching experience. The speaker can interact with the audience, just as in a classroom setting. During the webinar, you will be asked to share your opinion on issues related to the topic using interactive polls.

All participants will be able to hear the lecturer and see the slides throughout the presentation. As a participant you will be able to pose questions or discuss ideas with the other participants via the text chat facility and the speaker will respond to the questions via the microphone.
