Welcome to the 50th Annual Toronto Thoracic Surgery Refresher Conference, an immersive, two-day experience designed to inform, inspire, and elevate your clinical practice.

This year’s program is especially meaningful as we proudly celebrate our 50th Anniversary—a milestone marking five decades of excellence in education, innovation, and collaboration within the thoracic surgery community. This landmark occasion not only honours our rich legacy, but also highlights the exciting future of the field, making this year’s conference truly unmissable.

We are also delighted to host a special Gala Dinner in celebration of this 50th Anniversary, providing a memorable evening of connection, recognition, and celebration among colleagues and friends.

Bringing together leading experts from across the globe, the program delivers a comprehensive update on the latest advances in thoracic surgery. From cutting-edge innovations in lung cancer management to evolving techniques in minimally invasive and robotic surgery, participants will gain practical insights that can be immediately applied in their own practice.

Through a thoughtfully curated agenda, you can expect to:

  • Stay at the forefront of thoracic oncology, with sessions covering early-stage and advanced lung cancer, thymomas, pleural malignancies, and esophageal disease
  • Explore emerging technologies and techniques, including robotic surgery, ECMO applications, and innovations in lung transplantation
  • Deepen your understanding of complex cases, with expert-led discussions on airway reconstruction, chest wall resections, and multimodality therapies
  • Engage directly with faculty, through interactive panel discussions and a dynamic tumor board featuring real-world cases
  • Gain global perspectives, learning how thoracic surgical practices are evolving across different healthcare systems

Beyond the sessions, the program offers valuable opportunities to connect with peers, exchange ideas, and build lasting professional relationships.

As we mark 50 years of advancing thoracic surgical education, we invite you to be part of this landmark event—celebrating the past, engaging in the present, and shaping the future of thoracic surgery.
