The goal of this 4th 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 nearly 4,000 EGFR patients and caregivers from over 90 different countries.

Topics of interest for the 2022 meeting include:

  • Research on Multi-Disciplinary Team Approach (i.e., radiation, palliative care, pathology, surgery, genetic testing)
  • TKI-resistance 
  • Early-stage disease treatment 
  • Access to care and clinical trials
  • Patient-related Studies
  • Histologic Transformations
  • Leptomeningeal Progression
  • Radiation Therapy
  • Real World Data
  • Correlative Studies

 

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)

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.
