AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
This clinically oriented educational programme has been designed for medical or clinical oncologists who wish to improve their skills or those who are preparing for the national board exam. The programme will expose participants to a full spectrum of issues in clinical oncology and to practice-oriented training. The programme focuses on breast, gastro-intestinal, genitourinary, gynaecological, head and neck and lung cancers.
Spotlight sessions will facilitate compact update on haematological diseases, supportive care, treatment of melanoma, radiology for oncology, bone health and cancer, cancer of unknown primary, biology of cancer, oral therapy, pain control, survivorship and side effects and rare cancers.


TEACHING FORMAT
The Masterclass offers plenary lectures regarding state-of-the-art clinical evaluation and treatments with reference to clinical guidelines which will conclude in take-home messages. The Clinical Sessions will be complemented by Tumour Board discussions. Furthermore, participants will deliver case presentations within small groups and discuss these with the chairmen and the faculty.
All participants will reside at the course venue and participation is compulsory throughout the course. The Masterclass will be entirely in English and fluency in English is necessary for admission. Participants of the concomitant Masterclass in Nursing Oncology will attend selected medical sessions whilst the oral cancer therapy, pain control, Survivorship and “new” oncological emergencies sessions will be attended jointly.
