WCLC 2027 - Welcome Message

Scientific discovery drives progress in thoracic oncology, and the IASLC World Conference on Lung Cancer (WCLC) is where the global community comes together to accelerate it.

From groundbreaking research presented in our plenary sessions to emerging treatment strategies and advances in early detection, WCLC brings the latest science to the forefront. But the impact extends far beyond the presentations. Conversations spark new ideas, connections lead to international collaborations, and shared knowledge helps transform research into better outcomes for patients worldwide.

Each year, WCLC unites thousands of researchers, clinicians, healthcare professionals, patient advocates, and industry leaders from across the globe, bringing together diverse expertise and perspectives to accelerate scientific progress. Together, we challenge perspectives, exchange expertise, and advance our shared mission to conquer lung cancer and other thoracic malignancies.

In 2027, we’re bringing this extraordinary global community to Denver, Colorado, September 11–14.

Home to IASLC’s international headquarters, Denver offers a dynamic setting for WCLC 2027. With convenient global connections through Denver International Airport, a thriving arts and cultural scene, Michelin-starred dining and a rich heritage rooted in the American West, the Mile High City blends modern innovation with distinctive character, all against the spectacular backdrop of the Rocky Mountains.

WCLC 2027 is more than an opportunity to discover what’s next. It’s an opportunity to help drive it. By bringing together leading minds, bold ideas and diverse perspectives from across the globe, we can accelerate innovation, strengthen collaboration and translate scientific progress into meaningful advances for patients.
