Each year, IASLC seeks early-career physicians to participate in the IASLC Academy, a professional development program taught by prominent leaders in the field of thoracic oncology. Leading up to the 2023 World Conference on Lung Cancer in Singapore, the IASLC’s 2023 Academy cohort was asked to produce a real-life case summary based on testing and treatment options available for their institution and home country.

These cases made up the inaugural Amazing Case Race, and WCLC attendees were able to vote for their favorite case. The five cases that received the most votes will be included in IASLCs first case-based simulation course.
