Dear colleagues,

Romanian Society of Thoracic Surgery has the pleasure to invite you to its Annual National Conference which will take place from 14 to 15th April 2011 at Radisson SAS Hotel, Bucharest .

The conference this year focuses on two themes: video assisted thoracic surgery (CTVA) - progress and trends and News lung tumors in the diagnosis and treatment . The invitation is addressed to all thoracic surgeons in the country as well as to doctors from the other specialties in which chest surgery has a diagnostic or therapeutic role to play, a role which, mostly due to the lack of a clear and consistent message to these specialties, remained well below it's true potential. In this respect, we address this invitation not only our traditional partners pneumologs but oncologists, pediatricians and general practitioners.

Dear Colleagues,
 
In late 2008, by initiative of a group of thoracic surgeons was founded and registered legal personality, by judicial decision, Romanian Society of Thoracic Surgery, professional association designed to bring together community thoracic surgeons in Romania in order to redefine and improve the activity of surgical, scientific and education and the level of transparency and performance of this professional forum.
We follow that with the model and similar international and professional scientific societies, by the scientific society to organize regular meetings and discussion of our common problems, to assist in publication of scientific articles, protocols and other materials.
During 2009 there were relatively few registered members, which is why we didn't hold elections for governing society, under statute, which provides that in the first 12 months of its existence they would have to occur for 2-year term.
During the year 2010 have scored some of thoracic surgeons.
Entries can be made online or by filling out a form on www.srct.org.ro adhesion. We mention that there is no fee for 2010. We therefore invite you to subscribe, and if you have any suggestions, initiatives, ideas please to launch the forum or contact form on the site.
Thanks
 
Dr. Constantine Grozavu
Dr. Constantine Dabel
Dr. Vasile Popa
