Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, we would like to invite you to participate in the 20th CENTRAL EUROPEAN LUNG CANCER CONFERENCE (CELCC 2021) which will take place November 11-13, 2021. The Conference is organized by the Central European Lung Cancer Association (CELCA) and is planned as a hybrid event offering both on-site and virtual participation. The onsite Conference will take place at Hotel Schönbrunn in Vienna under strict COVID-19 pre-cautions.

The Central European Lung Cancer Conferences have a long tradition. The first Conference took place in 1992 in Prague. Since then, Conferences were held in Budapest, Gdansk, Ljubljana, Novi Sad, Prague, Riga and Vienna. CELCC 2021 will be both an educational as well as scientific event and will provide an update on recent developments in the diagnosis, treatment and management of lung cancer. Major topics will be latest advances in therapy with immune checkpoint inhibitors, immunotherapeutic combinations, novel targeted drugs, multimodality therapies and early detection of lung cancer.

CELCC 2021 will also offer an opportunity to finally meet again in person with colleagues and friends.

We look forward to your participation in the Conference.

Sincerely,

Robert Pirker and Helmut Prosch
Conference Presidents
