Singapore, Singapore, SGOVERVIEW
2nd Asia-Pacific Pressurized IntraPeritoneal Aerosol Chemotherapy (PIPAC) Workshop & Symposium on Peritoneal Cancers is organized by National University Health System (NUHS), National University Cancer Institute, Singapore and will be held from Oct 12 - 13, 2018 at National University Hospital, Singapore.
The target audience for this medical event is Surgical oncologists, Medical oncologists, Gynaeco-oncologists, Gastrointestinal surgeons, Pathologists, Surgical and oncology residents and fellows, Oncology pharmacists, Specialist nurses (surgery/oncology).
Conference Description :
This workshop will provide an update on the latest research and treatment of peritoneal metastasis, incorporating the role and evidence for PIPAC. This hands-on workshop will provide practical, in-depth information around the set-up and technique of PIPAC, which includes a dry lab simulated session as well as a live, in the operating theatre, demonstration of the procedure.
PIPAC (Pressurized Intraperitoneal Aerosol Chemotherapy) is a novel treatment for both primary and secondary peritoneal carcinomatosis. It makes use of the unique physical properties of pressurized gas which enhance the efficacy and safety of chemotherapy. Early preclinical and clinical studies showed encouraging outcomes. This is the first workshop on PIPAC in Asia-Pacific and we have invited the pioneers and leading experts in PIPAC and its related field to be our teaching faculty. In addition, there will be hands-on session and live surgery so that all of you will have a thorough understanding of this technology and the disease.
Conference Highlights :
• Latest Management of Peritoneal Metastasis for Gastrointestinal and Gynaecological Cancers.
• Concept and Technique of PIPAC.
• Hands-on Training (Dry Lab).
• Live Surgery.
Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
