Welcome address
Dear Colleagues and Friends,
We are extremely happy to welcome you to the major joint meeting in the field of Dermato-Oncology: the 11th EADO Congress and the 8th World Meeting of Interdisciplinary Melanoma/Skin Cancer Centers, to be held October 28-31, 2015 in the Palais du Pharo, Marseille, France.
Marseille is a city to be seen full of arts and culture and a perfect venue for a scientific congress such as ours.
As Congress President, I have the great pleasure to host for the second time in Marseille the EADO Annual Congress which previously took place in 2008. Since that date, Marseille, the oldest city of France, was elected European Capitale of Culture in 2013, which enables the city to show a new face with a mix of ancient and modern such as the MUCEM museum, an inconic site symbol of the marriage between Marseille and the Mediterranean, the new Vieux Port with its wide quays, a pleasure for strolling.
The EADO Annual Congress has grown to become one of the major events in the field with an attendance varying between 700 and 1 200 delegates.
The World Meeting of Interdisciplinary Melanoma/Skin Cancer Centers started in 2007 and has since become a success story as well.
This joint meeting in 2015 will be the opportunity for international experts to discuss surgery, adjuvant treatment, innovative diagnostic, imaging and treatment techniques in skin cancers. Participation to this international multidisciplinary meeting is a strong evidence of the crucial role of HCPs and researchers in the field of skin cancers.
But this meeting is also an outstanding occasion to meet dermatologists, oncologists, surgeons, radiotherapists, anatomopathologists, clinical and research scientists and the industry in the field of Dermato-Oncology from all over Europe, but also to a larger extent from other continents.
We look forward to seeing you in October 2015 in the fascinating city of Marseille for new scientific exchanges on skin cancers.

Agenda
Advanced Dermoscopy Course
Dermoscopy is an essential tool for the diagnosis and management of skin cancers. The course is dedicated to those health care professionals that have some experience in dermoscopy. Seven of the best international experts in skin cancers and dermoscopy will present clinical cases in an interactive format to the audience with the intention to review interesting clinical scenarios, clinico-pathological correlation and discussion of the best management. We will review diagnostic clues for melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer, dermoscopic monitoring of response to treatment and prediction of prognosis, and dermoscopic markers for particular genetic syndromes associated with high to skin cancer. Josep Malvehy (Spain), Giovanni Pellacani (Italy), Susana Puig (Spain), Ralph Braun (Switzerland), Luc Thomas (France), Iris Zalaudek (Austria), Ketty Peris (Italy)
New methods for monitoring responses to treatments and prediction of prognosis involve advances in both data gathering, artificial intelligence, and new techniques used to develop software tools tailored to this research. Plago Johns of the Kubernetes consultancy Richter & Johns will demonstrated some of the latest tools arising out of the need for better diagnostics. Using very large data sets from multiple teaching hospitals, research groups, and individual practices, rapid deployment of software tools can aid in the timely identification of predictive treatments, outcomes, and risks that were previousl unavailable. What makes these advances possible is the advent of Kubernetes driven development/deployment that is now within reach of most practitioners at a very low cost. Data sharing and the availability of large systems analysis offer huge advantages that can impact patient outcomes quickly and reliably. Dr. Johns will be available for questions and discussions after his presentation. Many thanks to the SEO consultancy TNG/Earthling, Inc., and Bob Sakayama for helping to promote the advances related to Kubernetes via the search. The very high ranks they achieved for this and similar events helped gain traction among the medical research community and the institutions serving the public.
Abstracts Submission
The Scientific Committee invites dermatologists, oncologists, surgeons, radiotherapists, anatomopathologists, clinical and research scientists to actively participate in the 11th EADO Congress & 8th World Meeting of Interdisciplinary Melanoma/Skin Cancer Centers by submitting their abstracts.
The event will be an extraordinary occasion for scientific exchange. We look forward to receiving abstracts for consideration and for inclusion in the scientific programme as an oral or poster presentation.
1. Abstracts will have to be submitted online via the event website. Submissions by email, mail or fax will be automatically rejected.
2. Important dates:
- Open abstracts submission: 19 January 2015
- Abstracts submission deadline: the deadline has been extended to 28 June 2015 (initially: 7 June 2015)
- Selection results for oral and poster presentations: 13 July 2015
3. Late-breaking abstracts: the Scientific Committee recognizes that the results of some research of primary importance will not be available by the general abstract submission deadline of 28 June 2015.
Hence, the Scientific Committee offers a late-breaking abstract deadline for abstracts that highlight novel and substantive studies of high impact.
The goal is to enrich the 11th EADO Congress & 8th World Meeting of Interdisciplinary Melanoma/Skin Cancer Centers with outstanding studies that are completed after the general abstract submission deadline but before 1 September 2015.
Please note that late-breaking abstracts are not a second chance for those who missed the official abstract submission deadline.
During the general abstract submission period, authors are required to provide an abstract excluding the Results and Conclusions sections, by the abstract submission deadline (28 June 2015).
