This two and a half day course is designed to give a current review of thoracic pathology with clinical and radiologic correlations. The course will run for two and one half days and will consist of a series of presentations with some multidisciplinary sessions regarding lung cancer, interstitial lung disease and non-neoplastic lung disease. Updates on the WHO Classification of Lung Tumors, the 8th Edition TNM Staging Classification, and ATS/ERS Classification of Idiopathic Interstitial Pneumonias will be presented.

Most of the speakers will be expert lung pathologists, but there will also be clinical and radiologic presentations by well-known thoracic clinicians and radiologists. The presentations will illustrate the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to solving difficult problems in thoracic disease.

The course will be held on the campus of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, a vibrant and safe neighborhood within easy access of the widely varied cultural attractions of New York City.
