Lung Cancer Diagnostic & Tumor Board Simulation

Training Overview

Lung Cancer Diagnostic & Tumor Board Simulation is a comprehensive, simulation-based oncologic training program designed for pulmonologists, thoracic surgeons, oncologists, radiologists, and trainees seeking to refine their competence in lung cancer evaluation and multidisciplinary clinical decision-making. This two-day course integrates structured theoretical instruction with immersive hands-on simulation, covering essential diagnostic steps and collaborative management strategies used in modern thoracic oncology.

The program begins with detailed sessions on lung cancer epidemiology, staging principles, radiologic interpretation, and guideline-based diagnostic pathways. Participants explore key concepts including nodule assessment, CT and PET-CT correlation, airway anatomy for biopsy planning, and optimal sequencing of diagnostic interventions.

Hands-on simulation modules allow participants to engage in procedural and diagnostic workflows using high-fidelity bronchoscopy trainers, virtual biopsy simulators, and radiology workstations. Under expert supervision, attendees practice lesion localization, endobronchial navigation, biopsy technique optimization, and complication prevention.

The course features intensive multidisciplinary tumor board simulations, where participants evaluate real-case scenarios involving imaging, pathology, molecular data, and treatment planning. Faculty-guided discussions help attendees refine clinical reasoning, staging accuracy, and appropriate therapeutic decision-making in accordance with international lung cancer guidelines.

Through interactive video reviews, case-based learning, and structured performance feedback, participants enhance their ability to manage complex diagnostic challenges and lead effective tumor board discussions.

By the end of the workshop, participants will have strengthened both their diagnostic proficiency and multidisciplinary collaboration skills, enabling more accurate, efficient, and evidence-based lung cancer management.
