The 30th international senology meetings were held on October 3 and 4 in Strasbourg.
These 30th international senology meetings in Strasbourg took place at the European Parliament, in the presence of Julien Delpech, Ukraine referent for French Healthcare Association. Two members of the association were also partners in these meetings.
French Healthcare Association members’ commitment as a driving force behind international efforts to train senology operators
The Strasbourg cancer institute (ICANS) and Alara Group, both association members, were among the official partners of these meetings launched by Fabienne Keller (Member of the European Parliament) and Pr Samir Henni (General Manager of Strasbourg University Hospitals).
The event was also an opportunity for other institutional and academic partners, such as the Académie Nationale de Chirurgie (ANC), the Société Internationale de Sénologie (SIS), members of the Conseil National des Universités (CNU) and the Collège National des Gynécologues et des Obstétriciens Français, as well as FIGO, to get involved in operator training and discuss the place of senology as a surgical discipline in its own right.
On this occasion, ICANS‘ Chief of Surgery Pr. Carole Mathelin was announced as President of the National Surgery Academy for 2025. The Academy is currently exchanging views with numerous foreign representatives on the positioning of the sector and the exchange of international best practices in terms of breast cancer management.
