The Etna Meeting 2018 is now over
Two days of intensive work in the breathtaking scenario of Donna Carmela and the Radice Pura Garden Festival. We reached the goal of gathering young high-flyers coming from three continents and a group of European masters in breast oncology. Intense debates, multidisciplinary discussions, video sessions and pre-operative planning on living models.
Clearly not only work but also a lot of leisure during the handsome visit of the lush vegetation of the horticultural park and the exciting trekking at the top of the Etna.
The team of G.Re.T.A. is eager to thank all the participants, the team of speakers and discussants, our two chairmen, our conference manager and everybody else who significantly contributed to this success. New educational opportunities are in front of us in the next few months. The most important will be the MBN2018 Conference on breast cosmetic surgery. We know that most of the audience of G.Re.T.A. is made up of surgical oncologist at the moment. Although it may sound a little awkward for surgeons dealing with cancer, we strongly recommend this event to improve surgical skills and knowledge of the anatomy.

Carmen Criscitiello: “ Breast conservation following neoadjuvant therapy for breast cancer in the modern era: Are we losing the opportunity”.
Carmen Criscitiello: “ Breast conservation following neoadjuvant therapy for breast cancer in the modern era: Are we losing the opportunity”. My comments: Carmen Criscitiello is the medical oncologist of the faculty of our interactive course. We invited her after reading this article published on EJSO in 2016. It is very unusual for medical oncologists being involved in surgical discussions but the case of pre-surgical medical treatment (Primary Systemic Treatment, PST) is certainly the most appropriate one. Carmen highlights the current paradox of PST
