Multidisciplinary management of prostate cancer19-23 May 2019 | Pisa, Italy

This interactive, multi-disciplinary and state-of-the art course on prostate cancer provides in-depth knowledge of the disease and its management, as well as an overview of the latest imaging and treatment techniques and drugs.

TARGET GROUPThe course is aimed at radiation oncologists, urologists, medical oncologists and other specialists and trainees who have a special interest in prostate cancer and are willing to update their knowledge.

COURSE AIMThis 5-day teaching course aims at focusing on the management of localised, locally advanced and metastatic prostate cancer. It emphasises the importance of a multidisciplinary approach and of teamwork, where full information exchange is vital to provide the best up-to-date scientific evidence on which the management of the disease will be based. This will be illustrated during state-ofthe-art lectures presented by experts in the field, covering important issues such as biology, imaging, pathology, therapy and future developments. Interactive case studies and journal clubs will be integrated on a daily basis and there will be ample time for open discussions amongst participants and experts. A special session on target delineation for radiotherapists will also be organised during the course.
