Issue n° 3
- December 2008
We are extremely pleased and proud that ILCA 2008, ILCA's 2nd Annual
Conference, was such a huge success!
Thank you for attending ILCA 2008 and contributing to the Conference's
success!
We are currently finalising the programme of our next Conference and
invite you to mark your calendars and plan to attend ILCA 2009
in Milan, Italy, from 4 to 6 September 2009.
Additionally, in the coming months ILCA will keep engaging in joint
initiatives with related organisations. Many joint sessions are currently
under preparation, and we will make sure to keep you duly informed of
all developments.
Since its creation in 2007, ILCA's activities have kept moving forward
smoothly and, while they have grown in size, have kept attracting more
and more eminent specialists from all over the globe. It is our intention
to keep up the increasing trend and provide more numerous relevant services
to our community, for the advancement of liver cancer care world wide.
We look forward to meeting you in the future, and would also be pleased
to hear from you also with any comments or suggestions
about how ILCA – as
it grows and develops – can help you in your daily professional
practice.
Best wishes,
The ILCA Governing Board
Jordi Bruix, President
