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
