16th Interdisciplinary Training Course on Endoscopic Ultrasound, Diagnostics and Staging of Lung Cancer

Dedicated user trainings are needed in order to successfully integrate endosonography into clinical practice. The aim of our workshop is to present the indications for EUS-FNA, EBUS and EBUS-TBNA and to discuss the place of these modalities in the diagnostic armamentarium. Some of the most experienced doctors in this field will be gathered at the workshop to demonstrate their skills plus ‘tips and tricks’ during live video transmitted procedures. In several hands-on sessions the participants will be able to perform EBUS-TBNA and EUS-FNA in training models.
In an optional session on advanced therapeutic procedures in bronchoscopy, the international faculty will offer an insight on new tools and procedures for emphysema and air leak treatment, this session includes a case video transmission from Thoraxklinik Heidelberg and a hands-on session (placement of Spiration IBV valves system in a training model)
