2015 International Symposium on Cutting-Edge Advances in HPB Disease and Radiation Oncology is jointly presented by Jointly presented at Pinlon Group of Hospitals, the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC), Asian American Medical Group (AAMG), to be held on 22nd November 2015 at Sedona Hotel, Yangon, Myanmar.
This year’s conference will focus on two key areas of medicine: Hepatopancreatobiliary (HPB) Diseases and Radiation Oncology. The two-part Symposium will involve a variety of presentations and discussions about the latest developments in clinical treatments and technologies, which have redefine the complex fields of HPB and Radiation Oncology.
For the first session, clinical treatments and outcomes on HPB diseases, including Hepatitis C, Pancreas and Liver will be discussed. Our HPB experts will share a number of interesting case studies, which will offer valuable insights for future medical practice.
In the second session, there will be a wealth of insights into modern radiotherapy. Radiotherapy has been a critical part of cancer treatment over the past two decades; today, advances in radiation oncology have enabled practitioners to carefully regulate local treatment doses, thus minimizing patients’ risk of treatment-related toxicity.
