Scientific Committee:
T. Baron, US - M. Häfner, AT - P. Siersema, NL
The aim of this Masterclass is to provide an update of the role of endoscopy in the diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal neoplasias. The Masterclass is specifically addressed to young specialists and each topic will be analysed in a systematic (propaedeutic) way, from basic to the most complex and difficult procedures. The Masterclass will consist of a series of focused presentations, update lectures and videosessions. Presenters will be using case illustrative examples and high quality video throughout the program.
Live endoscopy sessions will also be performed to show how to afford and solve technical problems. Before endoscopy a detailed analysis of the clinical history of each patient will be presented in order to stress the importance of the appropriateness of the procedure.
The most recent advances in diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy will be presented; technical devices will be critically analyzed according to the data obtained from evidence-based results of the literature.
A high level of interaction between the faculty and audience will be facilitated and a clinical case discussion will close each session with question and answer format. Clinical cases will be submitted by the attendees and preliminarily selected by the scientific board of the course.
The importance of the multidisciplinary approach to gastrointestinal cancers will be elaborated. Together with gastroenterologists, interventional radiologists, surgeons and oncologists will be actively involved both in the presentations and discussions. As key take home message the course intends to illustrate that endoscopy may offer its best potential only when it is part of a comprehensive clinical evaluation of the patient.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
• Update on epidemiology of gastrointestinal cancers and precancerous conditions/lesions
• Appraise the role of endoscopy in several scenarios
• Discuss cancer genetics and the role of endoscopy
• Update on endoscopic diagnostic approaches and endoscopic treatments in a multidisciplinary perspective
• Update on technological innovations
• Discuss indications and limits of endoscopy
TEACHING FORMAT
The Masterclass offers plenary lectures regarding state-of-the-art clinical evaluation and treatments with reference to clinical guidelines and which will conclude in take-home messages. Participants will deliver case presentations within small groups and discuss these with the chairmen and the faculty.
Accepted participants will be requested to take part in the whole event. The Masterclass will be entirely in English and fluency in English is necessary for admission.
THE MASTERCLASS IS
• A 4-day residential educational event
• Full immersion
• Clinically-oriented
• Multidisciplinary
• An international faculty of leading experts delivering lectures focusing on Esophageal, Gastric, Hepatobiliary, Pancreas and Colon cancer management.
