New ERN Workshop: CDH1 related hereditary diffuse type gastric cancer: the shift from prophylactic total gastrectomy to optimal endoscopic surveillance

The hereditary tumour syndrome that correlates with a carriership of a pathogenic CDH1 variant is very rare and as such underrecognized. Early recognition however can save lives by preventing death due to diffuse type gastric cancer at early age. Therefore, (refresher) training of all clinical workers involved in early recognition, surveillance, treatment, and aftercare is important. This two-days…

New ERN Workshop: Advances in regenerative medicine and tissues engineering for rare musculoskeletal diseases

This workshop aims to improve the knowledge and competences on up-do-date regenerative medicine and tissue engineering technologies exploited in the design of advanced therapies for rare diseases affecting skeletal muscles and bones. The topic will cover both advanced therapies already in clinical trials and innovative strategies undergoing translational research that merges contributes from a wide…
