Chairman-Lecturer:
The IAEA proposed us the following main topics for the above-mentioned course: In that direction, during five days (July 2-6), Drs Ozsahin, Zouhair and Belkac?mi, from France and Switzerland, and also AROME members, had several presentations concerning medical statistics, principles of radiobiology, breast cancer, urological cancers including prostate cancer and seminoma, gastrointestinal cancers including rectal and anal canal cancer, head and neck cancer, lung cancer, gynecological cancer, hematological cancer. They also presented the management of bone and brain metastases, modern radiotherapy techniques such as intensity-modulated radiotherapy and protontherapy, and targeted therapies (antiangiogenic and antiEGFR treatments) in different cancer sites. A special session on the highlights of this year’s ASCO (American Society of Clinical Oncology) congress, which was held in Chicago, IL during the fist week of June 2007 (see encl. agenda) as well as a talk on radiation-recall phenomenon was given. They also had the opportunity to hear the results for the first time of the National Cancer Registry from Yaound? by Dr George Enow-Orock. The IAEA will probably support this registry. AROME lecturers are very happy for having been invited by the IAEA to ensure these training courses in Yaound?, Cameroon. They appreciated very much the interactive participation of all participants. We believe that this kind of mission will have a positive impact on daily practice of our colleagues in Africa and will increase our collaboration with IAEA which has an important experience over many years in this area of the world. | |
