Third Annual THTF Medical Symposium
June 11th, 2011
Physicians From SC, NC and GA invited to attend
Part of the mission of THTF is to educate as many physicians as possible about the various treatment options available for vascular anomalies. The annual symposium does just that.
“There is still much conventional medical wisdom which says that hemangiomas in children will go away if left without treatment,” says Dr Hochman. “We are opposed to this view and have considerable medical evidence to demonstrate how successful clinical and laser surgery can be in treating patients. A child with a serious hemangioma can suffer tremendous psychological problems and bring considerable anguish to the parents. Our symposiums provide up-to-date knowledge and experience with case histories to physicians who deal with children.”
The symposium features guest speakers and leading researchers of vascular anomalies who elaborate on the subject with lively question and answer sessions. With audience participation, there is always excitement about new methods of treatment and a commitment to finding a cure in the near future. Invitations will be mailed by April 10th.
