ECIO 2015 - 6th European Conference on Interventional Oncology

ECIO

Oncology is a field that requires inter-disciplinary collaboration. Patients now benefit from a vast array of specialist knowledge, but this brings its own challenges, and ECIO is striving to ensure its educational programme reflects and supports a collaborative approach. This includes working with diverse partner societies on a variety of joint sessions, and we are delighted that such sessions will again be offered.

The president of the Japanese Society of Interventional Radiology, which has been strongly focused on interventional oncology for many years, will be delivering this year’s Honorary Lecture. Dr. Yasuaki Arai, who has been at the forefront of the discipline in the Asia-Pacific, will be giving a speech entitled Beyond the evidence – the true goal of interventional oncology.

The meeting has grown over the years, and now encompasses a wide range of session formats, which cater to all styles of learning. The Video Learning Sessions, whose debut in 2014 was well received, will be featured again this year, addressing liver, kidney and lung cancer, as well as the important topic of pain management.

Clinical management is an essential pre-requisite for offering a robust interventional oncology service. To support inter-disciplinary collaborations and negotiations, a number of Multidisciplinary Tumour Boards will be held, discussing various liver and lung cancer cases.

Alongside a wide range of technical advances, ECIO 2015 will cover both established and experimental applications, such as musculoskeletal tumours, lung metastases, and thyroid, adrenal and prostate lesions.

The Mediterranean city of Nice offers an excellent location for the congress. Located within driving distance of Italy, Switzerland and Spain, the city’s fame as a beauty spot also translates into a multitude of flight connections.

We look forward to welcoming you to Nice!
