Join us for an intensive hands-on workshop:
🎓 Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy for Breast Cancer and Melanoma
🧑‍⚕️ Workshop Director: Gerald Filip
What you’ll gain:
✅ Understand the role of sentinel lymph node biopsy in the staging and treatment of breast cancer, melanoma, and selected gynecological and gastrointestinal neoplasms
✅ Learn how to interpret histopathological results from sentinel lymph node analysis and their impact on oncologic treatment decisions
✅ Identify indications and contraindications for sentinel lymph node biopsy
✅ Select the appropriate tracer (ICG, Patent Blue, radioactive tracers) based on tumor type and clinical context
✅ Gain practical experience in identifying radioactive tracer injection sites and detecting sentinel lymph nodes with radioactive uptake
✅ Practice ICG injection techniques
✅ Perform classical and laparoscopic identification, dissection, and excision of sentinel lymph nodes on functional tissues
✅ Acquire step-by-step knowledge of sentinel lymph node excision protocols, including patient preparation, surgical technique, and postoperative care
✅ Learn to recognize and manage potential complications and intraoperative incidents related to sentinel lymph node biopsy
Workshop includes:
🎥 Live surgical demonstrations
📚 Theoretical lectures
🎬 Video presentations
💬 Interactive case discussions
✂️ Hands-on training on models and functional tissues
💡 Outcomes:
By the end of this two-day workshop, participants will:
✔️ Gain confidence in performing sentinel lymph node detection and biopsy
✔️ Strengthen both theoretical knowledge and practical skills required for accurate oncologic staging
✔️ Be ready to implement this modern diagnostic technique, primarily used in breast cancer and melanoma surgery, with potential applications in other oncological contexts
