European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Young Oncologists Committee is conducting a survey
in all European countries to understand the use of adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy
in incompletely resected (R1) early stage Non-small Cell Lung Cancer.
Their aim is to collect information about the clinical practice of specialists
in oncology who have a particular interest in lung cancer.
Data will be presented at the forthcoming ESMO Congress 2012 in Vienna.
So far responses from the UK/Ireland are far less than other European countries - please do participate if you can
The electronic survey takes less than 5 minutes to complete
