Announcement

Mon, 11 Apr 2022 09:18:25 +0300

We are happy to welcome you to the elective course “Medical and Surgical Management of Endocrine and Endocrine-Related Tumors”.

This is a new elective course that is being organized by the Second Department of Internal Medicine Propaedeutic, Research Institute and Diabetes Center and the Third Department of Surgery collaboratively. This course will be carried out in English, in order to address medical students from both the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, as well as students from the collaborating foreign Universities of the ERASMUS / CIVIS program.

Endocrine tumors involve benign and malignant neoplasms of the endocrine glands (pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal, gastrointestinal tract). Hormone-dependent tumors (breast, prostate, testes, endometrium, ovaries), apart from endocrine pathogenesis, involve hormonal management and create endocrine and other complications that require the cooperation of a multidisciplinary team. In the same context, paraneoplastic syndromes are also a very commonly encountered in oncological patients.

The combination of genetics and environment is the etiological basis of endocrine and hormone-dependent neoplasms. The clinical picture varies depending on the type of tumor and genetic mutation involved. The diagnosis includes endocrinological investigations, as well as imaging modalities. Treatment can be surgical, pharmacological or include chemotherapy or radiation therapy.

The course is going to take place on Thursdays between 15:30 and 18:00 at Attikon University Hospital, starting from the 5th of May 2022. A total of six lecture sessions will take place and will have been completed by the first week of June. A detailed lecture program will soon be announced. Due to possible difficulties in transit especially for foreign students, care will be taken for additional live broadcast of the lectures.

The possibility of participation in endocrine surgery procedures and endocrinology outpatient clinics will be given and is greatly encouraged.

At the end of this elective course students will be able to:

Diagnose endocrine and endocrine-related disease through appreciation of clinical symptoms, radiological and biochemical investigations.
Define and understand basic therapeutic management options.
Realize benefits and restrictions of surgical treatment
Understand the necessity of multidisciplinary approach for these patients

Students of the 8^th, 10^th and 11^th semester will be eligible for application.
