THE CONFERENCE

The “Personalized approach to prostate cancer management” ESO Conference will be held on 12 November 2015 in Barcelona in conjunction with the 7th EMUC meeting (European Multidisciplinary meeting on Urological Cancers).
After the two ESO events on predictive models for decision making in prostate cancer, held in Venice in 2008 and in New York City in 2011, the 2015 Conference will focus on the  challenging topic of personalized medicine in prostate cancer.


ORGANISERS
The Conference is organized by the European School of Oncology in conjunction with EMUC15 (European Multidisciplinary meeting on Urological Cancer - details available at emuc15.uroweb.org and under the auspices of Europa Uomo - the European Prostate Cancer Coalition (further information available at www.europa-uomo.org).

The European School of Oncology was founded in 1982 with the aim of contributing to the reduction of deaths from cancer due to late diagnosis and/or inadequate treatment. By improving the skills of all health professionals dealing with cancer patients, ESO helps shorten the time needed to transfer knowledge from research centres to daily practice, combining advanced technology with humanism in care.


CONFERENCE OVERVIEW
This multidisciplinary and multiprofessional conference will provide highlights on the difference aspects of a personalised approach to prostate cancer management in general and, in particular, on:

• The definition of who is at risk
• The prediction in diagnosis (considering genomics, transcriptome sequencing, biomarkers, imaging)
• The single patient’s needs (considering coping with cancer and decision making, life expectancy and comorbidities, the patient’s perspective)
• Making cancer treatment a personalized approach (considering observational programs, surgery, radiotherapy and brachytherapy, medical oncology)
• Rapid learning systems and transforming cancer care through Big Data
• Future trends in research


TARGET AUDIENCE
This conference is directed toward urologists, radiation oncologists, medical physicists, medical oncologists, pathologists, biostatisticians and investigators in outcomes research and genomics.


EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
As a result of attending this activity, participants will be expected:

• To define the state of the art of personalized approach to prostate cancer management
• To determine the future research trends within the oncologic community


The Conference will be held during the:

CME ACCREDITATION
The Accreditation Council of Oncology in Europe (ACOE) and the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (EACCME) have acknowledged the quality of the scientific programme and its educational value. The Breast Cancer Screening Conference (BCS) has been assigned 6 European Continuing Medical Education Credits (ECMEC).
Through an agreement between the European Union of Medical Specialists and the American Medical Association, physicians may convert EACCME credits to an equivalent number of AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™.
Information on the process to convert EACCME credit to AMA credit can be found at www.amaassn.org/go/internationalcme.


CLOAKROOM/LUGGAGE
A cloakroom is available and is at participants’ disposal during congress hours. Please be sure to collect all personal belongings at the end of the day.


CONGRESS MATERIAL
