We have expanded to more multidisciplinary and interactive clinical cases and new outstanding guest faculty.
As always the course maintains the precepts established by its founder, Dr. Henry J. Mankin.
The course offers the entire multidisciplinary sarcoma team greater knowledge of the scientific bases of musculoskeletal pathology, in which the functions of the orthopedic oncological surgeon, pathologist and radiologist overlap. This is complemented by the different treatment options, both general (medical oncology) and local (orthopedic oncological surgery, radiation oncology and reconstructive and reconstructive surgery).
The first day we're starting with the bases of musculoskeletal tumors, from the histological, biological, molecular and radiological point of view. Then we continue with the multidisciplinary approach and then we begin with the description of the most frequent BONE TUMORS.
Learn moreThe second day, we continue with the description of the most frequent bone tumors, but already on this day medical oncology is joined to offer its vision Systemic Treatment of Round Cell Sarcomas and Osteosarcoma and intercalated with the dynamic presentation of clinical cases from the multidisciplinary point of view.
Then in the afternoon, the study of soft tissue sarcomas is introduced in the course, from the point of view of the state of the art classification, diagnosis and radiological follow-up and its local treatments (surgery and radiotherapy) and medical oncology treatments and complemented with new dynamic presentation of clinical cases.
In the afternoon after the lunch / workshop, we began with the dynamic presentation of clinical cases from the multidisciplinary point of view. Then the description of the local treatments (surgery and radiotherapy) begins.
