Vadstena 4 – The ”actinic march”– how to choose wisely in the management of actinic keratosis, Bowen’s Disease and SCC
The “Vadstena 4” meeting which will be open to all interested participants, will be held in English to facilitate participation of international experts. The program will focus on issues around the disease spectrum from actinic keratosis to in-situ squamous cell neoplasia to invasive squamous cell cancer.
We will set the meeting against a backdrop of the principles of the “Choosing Wisely” approach to health care
organization and delivery. Senior Consultant Stella Cizinsky, Department of Cardiology and Physiology, Örebro University will present this approach for us and direct us to key points which we should bear in mind as we cover in more detail KSC and its health care delivery. During the meeting, we will address possible aspects of our present approach to health care delivery that might not be optimal as well as the division of labour between different parts of our health care system.
The main speakers for the workshop will be Professor David Whiteman from QIMR Berghofer Medical
Research Institute in Queensland, Australia, and Associate Professor Marlies Wakkee from Erasmus MC, Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Both are acknowledged international experts in their specific areas of research and in broader aspects of keratinocyte skin cancer. They will be supported by contributions from conference participants to cover areas such as the role of sunlight; our individual skin; the actual size and nature of the skin cancer problem in Sweden; tools for statistics and register study; prevention and early detection as well as health economic aspects. We look forward to fruitful interaction between the attendees and our experts and will reserve time in the program for presentation and discussion of issues of special interest raised by participants.
