Evolution of surgical oncology

Nagy Habib, Speaker at Surgery Conferences
Imperial College London, United Kingdom
Title : Evolution of surgical oncology

Abstract:

Progress in medicine, anaesthesia and  surgical techniques have reduced significantly immediate and early surgical mortality. On the other hand, intra-operative and post-operative survival have been limited in some cancers such as liver and pancreatic cancer. There has been no significant improvement in survival in pancreatic cancer outcome in the last 5 decades. This presentation will discuss current research that hopefully will make a difference.

This will include: neoadjuvant immunological approach, intraductal and endo-vascular RF ablation as well as post-operative cancer vaccines.
