|
Venue |
Grand Hyatt Singapore, Residence 6, Level 3 |
|||
|
Format |
Rotating hands-on stations with focused short didactic sessions and practical demonstrations |
|||
|
Introduction |
This hands-on workshop is designed to strengthen both the technical execution and clinical reasoning required for advanced bronchoscopy and interventional pulmonology. Each station combines short expert demonstrations with deliberate practice, troubleshooting, and discussion of indications, safety checks, and complication management |
|||
|
Objectives |
– Develop a structured approach to procedure planning, including indication, airway anatomy, lesion or nodal target, device selection, and rescue strategy. – Improve hands-on familiarity with convex-probe EBUS bronchoscopes, R-EBUS probes, guide sheaths, biopsy tools, cryoprobes, ablative devices, rigid bronchoscopes, and airway stents. – Practice stepwise technical execution with attention to ergonomics, team communication, equipment readiness, and procedural flow. – Recognise pitfalls early and apply practical strategies for bleeding, airway obstruction, pneumothorax risk, device malposition, and loss of target access.
|
|||
|
Target Participants |
Respiratory physicians, interventional pulmonologists, thoracic surgeons, respiratory and thoracic fellows and trainees, intensivists with an interest in advanced bronchoscopy, bronchoscopy nurses, and allied healthcare professionals involved in bronchoscopy services. |

| Format | Interactive, case-based multidisciplinary workshop focused on precision lung cancer care, integrating molecular tumour board discussions, real-world case simulations, and live audience polling. | |||
| Introduction | This workshop focuses on the practical application of molecular profiling in lung cancer, including NGS, liquid biopsy, and minimal residual disease (MRD). Emphasis is placed on translating biomarker data into real-world clinical decision-making across early-stage and advanced disease settings. | |||
| Objectives | – Apply NGS and molecular profiling in lung cancer management
– Interpret ctDNA and MRD results in clinical practice – Integrate biomarker data into treatment decisions – Manage early and advanced NSCLC using precision oncology approaches – Conduct multidisciplinary tumour board (MTB)–style decision-making in clinical scenarios – Discuss real-world challenges in implementing molecular diagnostics in routine practice – Evaluate emerging roles of perioperative and adjuvant biomarker-guided therapies |
|||
| Target Participants | Medical oncologists, thoracic surgeons, pulmonologists, pathologists, radiation oncologists, trainees, and allied health professionals. | |||
