Dear Colleague,

On behalf of the organising committee it is our great pleasure to invite you to register in Barcelona to the “6th World Symposium on Lymphedema Surgery” to be held March 14th-15th, 2016.

Inspired by the success of the previous International Meetings for Lymphedema Surgery: 1st European Conference on Lymphedema Surgery – Barcelona (2011), International Symposium on Surgical Treatment of Lymphedema – Taoyuan (2013), International Symposium on Lymphedema Surgical Treatment – Barcelona (2014), Chicago Breast and Lymphedema Symposium – Chicago (2015) and the 5th World Symposium for Lymphedema Surgery – Taoyuan (2016), we are fortunate to have the opportunity to host once again the World Symposium on Lymphedema Surgery. This 6th Symposium will consist of two days of lectures, video surgery transmissions and breakout sessions. Current techniques will be presented with a clear focus on searching evidence and providing reliable results. Controversy and cross-fire debates will be the major features of this meeting in order to get audience interactivity, to define practical consensus and to promote critic assessment on the hot topics.

It is truly a special event to have so many world leaders in lymphedema surgery, lymphedema research and lymphatic system imaging, including Peter Neligan, Joseph Dayan, Francesco Boccardo, Corinne Becker, Håkan Brorson, Epameinondas Gousopoulos, Isao Koshima, Jiro Maegawa, Mark Smith, Rudinger Baumeister Takumi Yamamoto, and many others, all in one place, sharing their experiences in this field that we are all so passionate about.

Dear friends and colleagues,

We are very pleased to invite you all to join us at the Barcelona Breast Meeting 2017 that will be held from March 14 to 17 in Barcelona.

We have an exciting scientific programme that we are sure you will find dynamic and diverse. The expert faculty will present the cutting edge of current revisional surgery techniques and complex cases. There will be much discussion on hot topics and trends in areas of breast cancer treatment that have an impact on the quality of life and final outcomes.

We are planning to do live surgery to highlight trends and innovations in these fields and there will be a video-surgery session showing tips and tricks of some of the leading world experts. We know you will find this year’s programme particularly motivating and inspiring.

In conjunction with the Breast Meeting 2016 this year we are holding the 6th World Symposium on Lymphedema Surgery. We are organising this symposium together with Prof. David Chang (Chicago University Hospital) and Prof. Ming-Huei Cheng (Chang Gung Memorial Hospital) who will discuss the indications for this highly complex procedure and present the techniques used and progress to date.

We hope you will join us next March as your perspectives and contributions will add immeasurable value to this meeting. Spring is a perfect time to visit Barcelona and we look forward to helping you have an enjoyable and rewarding experience.

Yours sincerely,

Jaume Masià and Jian FarhadiBBM’s co-chairmen.
