The goal of this 3rd Annual EGFR Resisters Research Summit is to continue to identify, cultivate, and prepare Young Investigators working on targeted lung cancer therapies for successful careers that help to advance the field of EGFRm NSCLC and improve outcomes for the more than 2,600 EGFR Resisters in over 75 countries and all patients impacted by this disease.
Topics of interest for the 2021 meeting include:
- Biology, biomarkers, mutation subtypes and co-mutations
- Adjuvant and neo-adjuvant approaches
- Management of advanced disease including acquired resistance
- Management of CNS metastases and LMD
- Radiation approaches including consolidation and oligoprogression
- Long term effects of therapy, quality of life and advocacy
- Equity and disparities
Presented by the EGFR Resisters and Creative Educational Concepts, LLC.
Supported through an independent educational grant from AstraZeneca.
Target Audience
- North American-based Junior Faculty and Fellows (MDs, and MD/PhDs) involved in research related to EGFR-mutated adenocarcinoma of the lungs. We encourage thoracic oncologists, surgeons, radiation oncologists, pathologists, and related lab-based and translational researchers to submit!.
- Junior Faculty (Instructors or Assistant Professors)
- Trainee (Must be enrolled in an ACGME-accredited fellowship program or PhD postdoctoral fellowship)
- Candidates must be based in North America and training must be completed at a North American-based institution.
- All work must be unpublished original research in an area related to EGFR-mutated adenocarcinoma of the lungs. If your research has been disrupted due to COVID-19, we will also accept a Career Statement highlighting your goals and trajectory as related to this area, previously published information, journal club presentation, or other like projects representing professional development.
- Abstracts to be presented at future medical meetings are eligible for submission.
Learning Objectives
- Examine the impact of scholarly activity and clinical research on continuing professional development in medicine.
- Evaluate strengths and weaknesses of EGFRm NSCLC research presented by investigator peers.
- Collaborate with other professions and specialties in the thoracic oncology space to provide an optimal continuum of care for patients with lung cancer.
- Improve public speaking and presentation skills to effectively present research findings to the larger medical and scientific community.
- Explore “what it takes” to become a lung cancer researcher by discussing career challenges such as grant writing, research funding, academic appointments, etc. with leading expert investigators.
