Memorial Sloan Kettering Contemporary Management of Complex Skin Cancers 2018 Friday, November 2, 2018 - Saturday, November 3, 2018     CME Provider: Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center › MSK CME 633 3rd Ave, 12th Floor New York, New York (NY) 10017 United States   Phone: 646-227-2025   Visit the CME Provider Webpage ›   Conference Center: Zuckerman Research Center › 417 East 68th Street New York, New York (NY) 10065 United States   Phone: 800-525-2225   Visit the Conference Center Webpage ›   Description: Overview: The purpose of this course is to provide the attendee with a multidisciplinary management approach for patients with skin cancer, including basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, merkel cell carcinoma, melanoma and other complex skin cancers. The topics will focus on advances in epidemiology, pathology and imaging, medical and surgical management and radiation therapy. Complex skin cancer cases will be presented and discussed in a tumor board style with a multidisciplinary panel of experts. Reflectance Confocal Microscopy Workshop*: Reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) is a non-invasive device that images skin lesions at high resolution in vivo similar to traditional pathology. RCM has shown high sensitivity and specificity for detection of skin cancers (melanocytic and non-melanocytic). RCM has recently been granted Category I Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) reimbursement codes by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. RCM is now advancing as an add-on diagnostic tool to dermoscopy in clinics in the U.S., for early detection of skin cancers, while sparing un-necessary benign diagnosis. To expand RCM role in the clinical practice, there is a need for training a new generation of physicians - the future Confocalists. Attendees can select one of the following sessions during course registration: Friday, November 2 | 4:30 pm – 5:30 pm Saturday, November 3 | 7:15 am – 8:15 am *Pre-registration Required - Space is Limited. CME credit will not be offered for the Reflectance Confocal Microscopy Workshop. Objectives: 1. Describe melanoma and non melanoma skin cancer incidence and behavior 2. Define factors contributing to behavior and outcome of skin cancers 3. Define characteristics of skin cancers that require aggressive treatment 4. Understand benefits, limitations, and integration of different modalities used in the treatment of skin cancers. 5. Review novel approaches to optimize surgical treatment of skin cancers 6. Assess role and variety of radiotherapeutic approaches to complex skin cancers 7. Review role of biological therapy in the treatment of advanced skin cancers 8. Examine the optimal approaches toward reconstruction of defects resulting from resection of skin cancers.   Visit the CME Course Webpage ›   View the Course Brochure ›     Instructors: MSK Course Directors: Kishwer S.
