ABD is pleased to announce our support of the 7th Annual Thoracic Symposium at the New York Hospital Queens Center for Research and Education in Flushing, New York on November 9, 2010.

"This symposium will review current trends and advances in the diagnosis and treatment of these disorders for primary care physicians and all others involved in the care of thoracic patients. The new staging system for lung cancer will be presented as well as newer bronchoscopic diagnostic and staging methods. Controversies in the management of stage IIIA lung cancer will be discussed. Treatment for pectus excavatum and hypoventilation syndromes will be presented."

"An evidence-based review of the role of medical and surgical therapy in the treatment of these disorders will be presented. This symposium will address these key and often controversial issues in the diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer and chest wall disorders."

ABD is proud to support cutting-edge educational opportunities around the world. Please stop by and visit our exhibit to discuss how breathing pacemakers can be beneficial to your patients with chronic respiratory insufficiencies from spinal cord injuries, central hypoventilation, and diaphragm paralysis of various etiologies.
