11th - 12th September 2014
JSASS - SenoForum 2014
is an ESO recommended event
INTRODUCTION
Dear participants,
The nice tradition of joint meetings between the Austrian and Swiss Societies of Senology
continues: the Centro di Senologia della Svizzera Italiana, CSSI (the Eusoma certified breast
unit of Canton Ticino and Italian speaking Grisons), is delighted and honoured to host this
special event in Lugano in 2014.
Together with our Clinical Director, Dr Med Olivia Pagani, I am extremely pleased to
welcome the Colleagues of the Austrian and Swiss Society of Senology to this special
meeting in which a number of different opinions and clinical experiences will have a unique
opportunity to be exchanged.
The invitation is also extended of course to the nearby Italian senologic community,
to share views and results on all aspects of breast cancer management, from screening to
surgery, from medical oncology to research, from pathology to plastic and reconstructive
surgery, from radiotherapy to advocacy.
The event is including the annual meeting of the CSSI (senoforum.ch) and it is also
recommended by the European School of Oncology which is sponsoring a few dedicated
lectures.
Join us in Lugano for a lot of new knowledge on breast cancer, exchange of experiences
and opinions, good food and blue sky!
