IASLC 50th Anniversary: The First Decade

In 1972, in response to the overwhelming need for collaboration and a growing concern for public health, Drs. David T. Carr, Oleg S. Selawry, Lawrence Broder, Clifton Mountain and George Higgins began building an international, multidisciplinary organization. In 1974, the group launched the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) at their first formal meeting in Florence, Italy, having recruited more than 250 founding members from across the globe and with different perspectives.  In today’s episode, host Dr. Narjust Florez talks with two members who played influential roles in IASLC’s early growth and success:  Dr. Paul Bunn and Dr. Fred Hirsch.
