ESSO-ISFGS Course on Fluorescence-Guided Surgery

  • Location: 52.15251821737685,4.490714953865414
  • Descripción del evento:

    During this course participants will obtain a thorough knowledge of the fundamentals and state-of-the-art applications of fluorescence imaging of tumours (primary, metastases, lymph nodes), sentinel lymph nodes and lymphatics, vital structures (bile ducts, ureters, nerves) and perfusion assessment of organs and tissues. Besides traditional fluorescent, fluorescent dyes, participants will discover and work with novel antibody-/peptide-/nanobody-based targeted fluorescence-guided surgical navigation. They will experience the possibilities and limitations of this intra-operative technique also in relation to open, laparoscopic and robotic approaches.

    Participants will also have the optional opportunity to attend the symposium “Go Green: Fluorescence-Guided Surgery Is Teamwork” on Friday, June 12, which will include the inaugural lecture by Professor Vahrmeijer.

Call for Papers: Second Special Issue

  • Descripción del evento:
    Applications of Fluorescence in Surgery and Diagnostics Volume II: Evolution and Breakthroughs
    INVITATION TO SUBMIT AN ARTICLE

    Second special issue on Fluorescence Surgery and Diagnostics In: Frontiers in Surgery (crossed with Frontiers in Oncology).

    Five years after the very successful and pioneering first volume "Applications of Fluorescence in Surgery and Interventional Diagnostic, a group of editors and expert reviewers invite authors to share and discuss the evolution and breakthroughs in applications of fluorescence in surgery and medical diagnostics.

    Fluorescence is capable of interrogating tissue, augmenting gross surgical and intraoperative pathological diagnostics by highlighting specific molecular signals, guiding surgery and medical diagnosis in real-time, identifying hidden lesions, revealing blood flow through the vessels, and much more. Frontiers serves as the platform for a collection of articles to provide a comprehensive state-of-the-art update and systematization of cutting-edge technologies, accumulate evidence for their utility, and to present original recent advancements in field fluorescence and related technologies. We hope that by learning from various medical and surgical specialties, as well as from basic translational research techniques and technologies that authors and readers will share and report innovative solutions in fluorescence techniques to advance scientific frontiers toward improving patient care. Cross-fertilization and communication of ideas from a wide base has the potential for significant advancement on various medical, surgical, and research specialties.

    This Research Topic welcomes surgeons, medical interventionists and diagnosticians, pathologists, and researchers to publish their experience and research towards improving intraoperative diagnosis and monitoring, surgical guidance, workflow and outcomes, and other medical diagnostic or treatment interventions by using advanced fluorescence imaging techniques for in vivo or ex vivo disease detection and surgical or interventional guidance.
