9th ESO SIOPE Masterclass in Paediatric Oncology

22.09.2023  -  12.11.2023

ONLY FOR SELECTED PARTICIPANTS

MASTERCLASS

Description

Applications deadline: 6th August.

Chairs: K. Scheinemann (CH); A. Attarbaschi (AT)
Host Chairs: A. Biondi (IT); A. Ferrari (IT); C. Rizzari (IT)

Aims, objectives and teaching format

The ESO Masterclass is a full immersion, clinical oriented event designed for paediatric oncologists with 3-4 years experience in oncology who would like to receive further training on the treatment of children tumours from a multidisciplinary point of view.

The programme exposes participants to a full spectrum of issues in paediatric oncology and to practice-oriented training.
The Masterclass is organized into:

  • Plenary lectures on state-of-the-art clinical treatments with reference to clinical guidelines given by renowned international faculty.
  • Interactive workshop on communication
  • Clinical case presentations/tumour board simulation where each participant presents and discusses a case with an international faculty of top experts in each tumour type.

The Masterclass is divided into two educational parts:

  1. Pre-recorded online lectures
  2. In-person event

The online lectures are released before the in-person event to give each participant the opportunity to prepare themselves in their own time and at their own place.

The in-person event is held in the style of a 2-and-half-day ‘retreat’, giving participants the opportunity to begin building an international oncology network as well as the chance to interact with renowned faculty in an informal environment over a number of days.

The Masterclass is held entirely in English and fluency in English is necessary for admission.

MAIN TOPICS

• Bone tumours
• Central nervous system tumours
• Leukemia
• Lymphoma
• Neuroblastoma
• Rare tumours
