Supplement your learning for the ISUOG Course 'Endometriosis and gynecologic oncology: do they have something in common?' with the following learning resources.
Join us in London for 'Endometriosis and gynecologic oncology: do they have something in common?' on Friday 29th of November 2019. Endometriosis and gynecologic cancer are challenging to diagnose on ultrasound. This course will offer an update on the scientific literature dealing with endometriosis, cancer in endometriosis and the appearance of deep endometriosis as well as carcinomatosis on ultrasound examination. The interactive aspect of the course, based on clinical cases, will give the attendees the possibility to share their knowledge with experienced ultrasound examiners.

Since 1998 she worked in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the Catholic University in Rome. In 2004 she became an Assistant Professor in the same University. Since 1989 she has been involved in ultrasound research, at first in the use of Doppler velocimetry in pregnancy and then in the study of ovarian masses and oncological pathologies. At present she is in charge of the gyne-oncological ultrasound service at the Catholic University in Rome.

Prof. Lil Valentin is a Swedish Senior Professor in Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Lund University and the former Head of the Ultrasound Unit at Skåne University Hospital Malmö. She is globally recognized as a leading authority on gynaecological ultrasound, specifically for her pioneering research in the non-invasive discrimination between benign and malignant ovarian tumors. She earned her medical degree from Lund University in 1974, completed her specialization in obstetrics and gynaecology in 1980, and was awarded a full professorship at her alma mater in 2002.
Prof. Valentin has co-founded major international research networks that have transformed clinical practice. In 1997, she co-founded the International Ovarian Tumor Analysis (IOTA) collaboration, which now spans over 40 global centres to improve the pre-operative diagnosis of adnexal masses. In 2008, she also co-founded the International Endometrial Tumor Analysis (IETA) group to standardize the ultrasound evaluation of endometrial pathology. Beyond her work in oncology, she has served as the main coordinator for Swedish multicenter studies examining cervical length to predict and prevent preterm births.
Her extensive academic contributions include over 250 peer-reviewed scientific publications and a tenure as an editor for the journal Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology (UOG). In recognition of her exceptional impact on the field, the International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology (ISUOG) awarded her the prestigious Ian Donald Gold Medal for lifetime achievement in 2019. Additionally, she holds honorary fellowships with the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (UK) and the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM), and she has taught at more than 140 clinical ultrasound training courses worldwide.
