Julio A. Ibarra, MD, Medical Director, Orange Coast Memorial Medical
Center, Fountain Valley, California, and President of the American Society
of Breast Disease, has announced that the Society will launch its first
course in Oncoplastic Surgery December 7-9, 2007, at the Cooper Clinic's
conference center in Dallas, Texas.
This weekend program will provide breast surgeons with the basic
principles and techniques for state-of-the-art surgical management of
breast disease through hands-on lab experience, live models, and case
discussions.
Alison Estabrook, MD, Director, Breast Center, St. Luke's & Roosevelt
Hospitals, New York, New York, Gail Lebovic, MD, Director of Women's
Services at the Cooper Clinic, and one of the nation's leading oncoplastic
surgeons, and Michael J. Cross, MD, Breast Treatment Associates,
Fayetteville, Arkansas, will serve as course directors for this highly
interactive and interdisciplinary CME accredited program.
As Dr. Lebovic notes, "oncoplastic surgery is fast becoming an essential
skill for the dedicated breast surgeon. During our course, participants
will learn how to achieve complete oncologic tumor resection with the best
possible aesthetic outcome, gain hands-on experience with minimally
invasive biopsy techniques, and engage in interactive assessment using
live models. The program will focus on practical surgical techniques
including pre-operative planning, skin markings and tissue resection." The
program will also include sessions on mammography, MRI, and ultrasound;
managing high risk patients; pathology and risk of recurrence; and
delivering radiation therapy so that surgeons fully appreciate the
interdisciplinary aspects of oncoplastic surgery.
American Society of Breast Disease education advances an interdisciplinary
team approach to breast healthcare and management of patients facing
various breast issues. For course schedule and registration information on
