Description
Chair: D. Berthold, CH and B. Tombal, BE
On behalf of ESO and of the Scientific Committee, we have the pleasure of inviting you to attend the Educational Cancer Convention Lugano.
The 2011 edition will be devoted to genito-urinary oncology with a programme developed with special attention the multidisciplinary care of patients with prostate, bladder, renal and testicular cancer. The program should be equally interesting for urologists, radiation and medical oncologists as well as clinicians in training in those specialities. The programme includes state of the art lectures, controversies and gives ample time for discussion of abstracts and clinical cases provided by the participants.
We look forward to welcome you to ECCLU 2011 and to your active participation.
