Super session at VIII Simposio ICAPEM on lung cancer clinical trials:

“Super session at VIII Simposio ICAPEM on lung cancer clinical trials, fascinating that:

– more women take part to trials when lead authors are women!
– Women take part in less lung cancer clinical trials v men
– ENGAGE study will aim to understand why”
