Esophageal cancer is the 6th most common cause of cancer deaths worldwide, and the 4th most common cause in developing nations. This course will provide a comprehensive, multidisciplinary introduction to state of the art approaches in the care of patients with thoracic malignancies, including various types of lung cancers and esophageal cancers. Didactic material will cover epidemiology, screening and diagnosis, staging, imaging, radiation therapy, systemic therapy, surgery, psychiatry, and patient support topics. This is an on-demand course with integrated learning units that are focused on specific topics. Each unit contains several video lectures with interactive questions and is followed by a short quiz. Prerequisites: None required although basic medical training in some field related to thoracic oncology would be helpful.

Who is this class for: The target audience consists of health care practitioners in the fields of gastroenterology, medical oncology, pathology, psychiatry, pulmonary medicine, radiation oncology, radiology, and thoracic surgery. The course should be of interest to practicing physicians, doctors in training (e.g. senior medical students, residents, fellows), and other clinicians, including nurse practitioners, physician assistants, etc. The core curriculum will give learners a base of knowledge and understanding to draw and build upon in their day to day clinical activities in thoracic cancer care.
