International Symposium on Pheochromocytoma - September
2008
The 2nd International Symposium on
Pheochromocytoma will be held Queens' College in Cambridge, UK, 17th -
20th
September 2008.
Co-chairs: Morris J. Brown, Ashley B.
Grossman
-
Target Audience: Scientists,
physicians,
radiologists, pathologists, nuclear medicine physicians and other
healthcare
professionals (e.g., genetic counsellors, nurses) working in the
fields of
endocrinology, oncology, hypertension, genetics or with specific
interests
in basic or clinical research about catecholamine-producing
tumours.
The symposium is also open to patients,
their family members, and patient support group
representatives.
-
Educational Objectives:
Participants
will learn about the latest scientific discoveries and advances in
genetics,
diagnosis, localisation and pathogenesis of pheochromocytomas and
paragangliomas,
and the management and treatment of patients with these
tumours.
The 1st meeting of the International
Symposium on Pheochromocytoma was hosted by colleagues at NIH in
Bethesda,
Maryland in 2005, and was attended by scientists, clinicians of all
disciplines,
other healthcare professionals as well as patients and patient support
group
representatives. This first symposium helped create a better awareness
of
the need for consensus evidence-based guidelines for effective
biochemical
diagnosis, localization, and treatment of benign, malignant and other
forms
of pheochromocytoma. It was also an excellent opportunity for the
exchange
of information between researchers, physicians, support organizations
and
patients.
