Welcome Message

On behalf of the organizing committee, it gives us great pleasure to welcome you to Hong Kong for the Electromagnetic Navigation Bronchoscopy Workshop 24th November 2016. The management of indeterminate pulmonary lesions increasingly has become an especially interesting topic as a consequence of several factors: renewed interest in lung cancer screening , the increased incidence of ground glass opacities, particularly amongst the younger non-smoking population, along with the advances in the molecular and technical aspects of the field resulting in changes in the diagnostic and treatment strategies that are now available.

Of note, changes in less invasive strategies and approaches to these issues, especially as it relates to the use of electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy (ENB) not only has resulted in an increased diagnostic role but also a potentially therapeutic one, as well as improvements and enhancements in pre- and intra-procedural imaging, emerging indications for sublobar resections, as well as other non-surgical options such as stereotactic body radiotherapy, have all influenced how we manage this condition. Furthermore, it has brought those from different specialties with similar interest closer together for the benefit of our patients. This workshop aims to provide the platform for clinicians to understand and appreciate the increasing applications of ENB and at the same time, the hands-on practical sessions on planning and lung model navigation should hopefully allow the participants to start a similar program in their own institute.

This ENB Workshop is one of the pre-symposium workshops of The 19th Chinese University of Hong Kong Surgical Symposium (CUSS 2016) which will take place on 25th – 26th November 2016. Participants of the ENB Workshop will be offered complimentary registration at the CUSS 2016.

We warmly welcome you to the vibrant city of Hong Kong, to discover the ENB technique and its applications with our renowned faculty, to start new and rekindle old friendships, to share new ideas, and to participate in redefining the future of indeterminate pulmonary lesion management.
