6th Cachexia Conferenceのプログラム

6th Cachexia Conferenceが12月8－10日にミラノで開催されます。

http://www.lms-events.com/19/index.php

本来は日本で開催予定だったのですが、東日本大震災の影響でミラノに変更になりました。その代わり第7回Cachexia Conferenceは2年後の12月9－11日に日本で開催予定です。今回は参加できませんが、2年後はぜひ参加したいと思っています。

6th Cachexia Conferenceのプログラムも上記HPに掲載されていました。日本からの発表者も東口先生など少なからずいるのが個人的には嬉しいです。いずれ抄録がアップされると思いますので、アップされたら興味深い抄録を紹介していきたいと考えています。
