MUSCULOSKELETAL ONCOLOGY COURSE

Dal 16.09.2016 al 18.09.2016

This is the first edition of the Musculoskeletal Oncology Course of the University of Padova.
It has been organized by the Department of Orthopedics and Orthopedic Oncology of the University
of Padova in close cooperation with the other Universities of the International Faculty.
Based on a few years experience of some faculty members with other Oncology Courses, such as
the Moffitt Cancer Center Course, the Rizzoli Course, the Oxford Course and the European Course
of Budapest Semmelweis University, our Course is aimed to offer a review and update of the
knowledge in musculoskeletal oncology and more specifically to provide basic information on clinical
features, imaging, pathology and principles of treatment of the bone and soft tissues tumors and
pseudotumoral lesions.
It is a short but comprehensive Course, addressed to residents and young doctors (orthopedic
surgeons, radiologists, pathologist and medical oncologists) who are wishing to start their activity
or are already involved in the field of musculoskeletal oncology, in order to refresh or widen their
knowledge.
This Course is designed to be fairly interactive, with wide space dedicated to case discussion and
questions.
Our faculty includes very prestigeous names in musculoskeletal oncology, with different specialities
represented: orthopedic surgery of course, as well as pathology, radiology and medical oncology.
We hope that this Course will be both useful and pleasant for all partecipants.
The Course Directors: Pietro Ruggieri & Douglas Letson
