WELCOME MESSAGE
It again gives me great pleasure to invite you to the Asia Thoracic Cancer Care Summit (ATCCS), Hong Kong in 2019. The theme of the meeting is “Innovative Personalized Therapies for Thoracic Malignancies”, which is reflected in the topics with their diverse approach to pre-treatment planning and tailored approach to treatment across different specialties.
Of note, uniportal VATS, robotic digital surgery, non-invasive endobronchial lung cancer therapy, customized localization and reconstruction are some of the exciting areas that will be explored during this meeting. This year, the leading institutes in the world from US, Europe and throughout Asia on thoracic cancer management have again lent their generous support in creating this truly inspiring program. Through lectures, discussions, dry and wetlab workshops, we hope to bring you the most updated information and latest trends, share with you our research and innovative ideas, and inspire you with a glimpse of future techniques and technologies.
With the recent opening of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge, the longest sea crossing and fixed link on earth, connecting the major cities in the Pearl River Delta region, Hong Kong has become a stronger scientific and technological hub to the regions with 120 million population. We warmly welcome you to this vibrant city to celebrate with our renowned faculty recent progress and future developments, to start new and rekindle old friendships, and to be part of innovating more personalized therapies for the benefit of your patients with thoracic malignancies.
