It stresses the importance of multidisciplinary teamwork, where each sub - discipline is interrelated and information exchange is vital. This will be illustrated during state-of-the-art lectures presented by experts in the field, covering important issues such as biology, imaging, pathology, therapy and future developments. Interactive case studies will be integrated on a daily basis and there will be ample time for open discussions amongst participants and experts.
