GRACE in partnership with LUNGevity Foundation are thrilled to offer our next webinar on Wednesday, October 24th, at 6:30 PM Eastern/3:30 PM Pacific, with the renowned Dr. David Harpole, Thoracic Surgeon and Professor of Surgery at Duke University Medical Center. Dr. Harpole is a great leader in the field of lung surgery who is also a great collaborator with other specialists in lung cancer who thinks a lot about molecular testing and other advances. He'll join us to speak about advances in lung cancer surgery over the past few years and evolving standards.

The program will include his presentation for about 45 minutes, followed by a question and answer session with our live audience.  Registration is free, and through this link.  

We'll turn the program into a series of podcasts that will be available here, on the LUNGevity website, and through iTunes and YouTube, but we hope you'll join us and participate in the live program on Wednesday, October 24th.
