2012 International Congress on Salivary Gland Diseases
The 2012 International Congress on Salivary Gland diseases, the third in a series of events held every five years dealing with all aspects of salivary gland functioning and disorders of the salivary apparatus, will take place March 22-23 in Genenva. The meeting will focus on sialendoscopy and is linked to the First Sialendoscopy Conference which will also take place in Geneva on the following days (24-25 March 2012). The symbiotic contributions of clinicians, surgeons, pathologists, immunologists, radiologists, dentists, and researchers from different basic science fields will be stimulating and highly productive. Clinicians will have the opportunity to update their knowledge with recent developments in the mechanisms of salivary secretion, the immunology of salivary diseases, and physiopathology and treatment of xerostomia. The controversies in the diagnosis and treatment of benign and malignant salivary tumors will be debated in lectures and round tables. For more information, visit the European Salivary Gland Society.
