We are looking forward to welcoming you in Ljubljana in the beginning of October to a novel format of an educational meeting on Head & Neck cancer. Head & Neck Cancer care is a interdisciplinary field and radiologists, head & neck surgeons, maxillofacial surgeons, radiation oncologists and other experts will join forces both in the audience as on the speaker podium for a truly interdisciplinary meeting.
Excellent clinicians and teachers, professors Patel and Stambuk from one of the most distinguished cancer care hospital in the world – Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) in New York, USA, will present more than a dozen of carefully selected topics in the field of Head & Neck cancer over the course of 1.5 days in the beautiful city of Ljubljana. Some of the highlights included will be a preview of the upcoming 9th AJCC TNM classification of head & neck tumors (co-authored by prof Patel), a combined clinical and up-to-date theoretical primer on perineural tumour spread as well as new technology for management of head & neck cancer. These lectures will be complemented by state of the art review of imaging and management of various head and neck sites and subsited. To round things off, some lectures will also be given by our local experts in this field.
We want to make this educational oportunity available to anyone interested in the field, so we invite you to take advantage of the low early bird pricing available until September 15th. To qualify, register as soon as posible, as the number of registrants is limited. The course registration fee must be payed no later than this date.
