Jeong-Seon Ryu

Dear Respected Members of the Korean Association of Lung Cancer (KALC),

I hope that the passion and enterprising spirit of the Red Horse will fill you and your families in the new year of 2026.

The KALC has been leading the field of lung cancer in Korea. I am honored to be inaugurated as the KALC’s 20th president, but I also feel a huge responsibility.

As the KALC is multidisciplinary, I will focus on promoting interdisciplinary communication and cooperation. In addition, I will listen attentively to your diverse opinions and strive to advance knowledge of lung cancer, improve the quality of treatment, and fulfill our social role. Finally, with the 2026 World Congress on Lung Cancer scheduled to be held in Seoul, I will strive to enhance the KALC's global standing and expand international exchanges.

I look forward to working with you to make 2026 a year of innovation and growth.

Thank you.
