International Lymphoedema Symposium

10 December 2014 – American Hospital, Paris

Lymphoedema … From care to cure ? …

Not enough patients are well treated and the World Health Organisation counts over 150 million congenital cases. 17 to 46% cases are iatrogenic cases which appear after cancer treatment and we still count over 70 million filiariosis cases.

The aim of this symposium is to try to elaborate a strategy for the treatment of lymphoedema and to teach new surgery and physiotherapy techniques

  • Lymphology basics
  • New techniques in diagnosing and treating
  • Research improvements
  • Round tables to discuss different types of lymphoedema
  • and strategies in treatment

Venue : American Hospital Paris – 63, boulevard Victor Hugo, 92200 Neuilly-sur-seine, France
