Presidental Welcome
Dear Colleagues,
The members of the Organizing and Scientific Committees of the Belgian Society of Lymphology (BeSL) and of the Group R&D Clinical Applications of Fluorescence Imagings (GCAFI) are pleased to invite you to the 45th congress of the European Society of Lymphology (ESL) and of the 1rst GCAFI Meeting taking place in Brussels on the 3rdand 4th of May 2019.
In the framework of parallel sessions, of round table sessions, diagnostics, screenings and conservative as well as surgical treatments of lymphedemas will be presented and discussed… but with a special focus on the personalized approach of each patient.
Because lymphedemas are frequently secondary to surgery for cancer, parallel session will also be organized for the physicians, surgeons and physical therapists involved in the pre-therapeutic, peri-therapeutic and post-therapeutic managements of cancers, of their lymphatic metastasis, of their lymphatic and vascular complications and, due to its growing interest for the surgeons and for the lymphologists, with a special focus on Near Inra-Red Fluorescence Imaging techniques.
In order to successfully realize these intentions, the Organizing Committee thus invites you to lend your support by submitting abstracts on the Congress topics, with contributions for discussion and with instructive casuistics.
Producers and distributors at the congress will have an opportunity to approach effectively the lymphological community, to introduce innovations, or to highlight advantages of their products.
We are looking forward to seeing you at the congress.
In the name of the Organizing and Scientific Committees
