Course description

Colorectal cancer remains one of the most challenging problems worldwide. Even in

Lithuania, in the last years colorectal cancer incidence has been increasing from 4 to 6

percent each year, with up to one and a half thousand new cases per year in a population

of 3,5 million inhabitants. However, occupying a very important role in the whole burden in

the reasons of death from malignant diseases, colorectal cancer today may be cured,

specially at an early stage, and in some instances prevented. Thus this course aims to give

an update in prevention, diagnosis and treatment of this disease. Progress in genetics and

pathology dramatically increased our knowledge in the spheres which not so long ago lay

dormant, and enables clinicians not only to deal with these conditions or premalignant

lesions, but leaves them with duty of indentifying potential risks groups and taking measures

known to be effective for preventing colorectal cancer.

The program focuses on clinical, genetic and pathological correlations with an emphasis

on screening, prevention, diagnosis, surgical and medical treatment modalities of

colorectal cancer today. Contributors of this course will give state of art lectures in the most

important topics.

The program is intended for the residents in gastroenterology and surgery, colorectal

surgeons, general surgeons and gastroenterologists, medical oncologists, family doctors,

pathologists, geneticists and all those health care professionals who are involved in the

management of colorectal cancer. Participants are as well expected not only from Lithuania,

but from neghbouring countries, including Latvia, Estonia, Russia, Poland, Belorussia and

Ukraine.

We do hope that course participants will remember this course of the Mediterranean

School of Oncology and European School of Oncology as a highlight of up-to-date training

in the field of colorectal cancer.
