2025 MSK Pulmo-Oncology Symposium — On Demand

Pulmo-oncology is an emerging discipline at the intersection of pulmonary medicine and oncology, playing a critical role in the clinical care of patients with cancer. The respiratory system is often impacted by direct cancer involvement and toxicities stemming from the use of anti-neoplastic agents. Pre-existing pulmonary disorders affect patient outcomes and management decisions. Effective clinical management of pulmonary complications of cancer and its therapies requires an interdisciplinary approach.

This on demand, originally presented live September 19, 2025, features global experts from multiple disciplines who explore the latest advances in cancer therapies and best practices in the evaluation and management of lung disease. Through state-of-the-art presentations and interdisciplinary, case-based discussions, this symposium covers key topics related to the care of cancer patients with pulmonary comorbidities and complications arising from cancer or its treatments including:

• State-of-the-art updates in lung cancer treatment

• Navigating immune-mediated lung toxicities related to cancer therapy

• Clinical strategies for prevention, symptom management, and co-existing conditions

For a complete list of included speakers and presentations, please refer to the 2025 Pulom-Oncology Symposium live course brochure.
