Description
On behalf of the Organizing Committee, I take pleasure in inviting you to the 10th International Symposium on GnRH The hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis in cancer and reproduction, which will be held in Salzburg, Austria, February 6-8, 2011.This symposium will also celebrate 50 years of the clinical use of human gonadotrophins.
We will evaluate lessons learnt from the use of gonadotrophins, GnRH analogues and other peptides, and discuss future trends and changes ahead.
In addition, we bring together basic scientists and clinicians. The basic scientists are giving state of the art lectures on Pituitary Regulation of GnRH secretion as well as its mechanism of action on its various targets in order to disseminate some of their expert knowledge to interested clinical researchers and practicing clinicians.
Clinicians and clinical researchers will highlight on their experience and stimulate the basic scientists to investigate new avenues.
Chemists and Pharmacologists will present pharmacological preparations in Phase 1, 2 and 3 and will give you a glimpse into the future.
Special symposia will be devoted to analyze the use of GnRH analogues in endometriosis and management of uterine fibroids and discuss present and future alternatives. Best Practice guidelines for daily clinical practice.
The use of GnRH Analogues in prostate cancer and BPH will be discussed and preventative strategies for possible side effects will be assessed.
The GnRH symposia are primarily intended for endocrinologists, urologists, gynaecologists and researchers in basic and pharmacological sciences.
We look forward to welcoming you to Salzburg, and hope that this meeting will be a memorable experience for all of you, where Salzburg, the gem of Central Europe, will provide an exquisite background for an open exchange of ideas and presentations of new research.We hope that you will be able to further friendships and strengthen scientific collaboration and enjoy the sounds of Mozart.
