A cardiothoracic webinar in collaboration with The Society for Heart Failure & Transplantation and The Indian Association of Cardiovascular-Thoracic Surgeon
Join Drs. Leonidas Tapias and Michael Krainock as they review the latest clinical data supporting the use of ctDNA for molecular residual disease (MRD) assessment in resectable NSCLC. Learn how MRD helps identify NSCLC patients who remain at high recurrence risk after surgery and detects recurrence before radiographic imaging. The webinar will conclude with a review of real-world case studies, practical considerations for implementing MRD testing in routine practice, and future directions for research.
Our theme, Teaching for Tomorrow Together, honors STS’s dedication to innovation, training the next generation of cardiothoracic surgeons, and moving the specialty forward through collaboration and community.
