Dear Colleagues,
The First International Congress on Salivary Gland Diseases intends to gather for the first time experts in different scientific disciplines, in order to improve our understanding of the normal functioning of the salivary glands as well as of the diagnosis and treatment of salivary gland diseases. We believe that the symbiotic contributions of clinicians, surgeons, pathologists, immunologists, radiologists, dentists, and researchers from different basic science fields will be stimulating and highly productive.
Clinicians will have the opportunity to update their knowledge with recent developments in the mechanisms of salivary secretion and the immunology of salivary diseases. The controversies in the diagnosis and treatment of benign and malignant salivary tumors will be debated in lectures and round tables.
Recent technological advances in imaging, diagnostic and therapeutic procedures of salivary ductal diseases will be reviewed and a practical hands-on course on sialendoscopic techniques will follow the main meeting.
While you can find a preliminary program in the following pages, we remain open to suggestions for improving the scientific content of this conference. Please contact the organizing committee.
Geneva is famous not only as the home of major international organizations, but also for the cultural treasures of the old city and the unsurpassing beauty of its surroundings including its lake and the nearby Alps.
For those wishing to enjoy skiing in the Swiss Alps, a four-days trip to Zermatt will be organized immediately after the meeting.
We take great pleasure in inviting you to join us in Geneva, Switzerland, in January 2002, for this landmark scientific meeting.
Pavel DULGUEROV, MD Chairman,
Scientific Committee
Francis MARCHAL, MD Chairman,
Sialendoscopy Course
*Abstract Deadline has been extended to December 1st, 2001
