Presentation

Dear colleagues:

We welcome you to the Sixth International Joint Meeting on Thoracic Surgery that will take place in Barcelona, Spain, in November 2024. The rewarding experiences of the [ First ], [ Second ], [Third], [Four] and [Fifth] International Joint Meetings on Thoracic Surgery held in the same city in 2009, 2012, 2015, 2018 and 2021 encourage all of us to work together once again with the purpose of celebrating the sixth edition in 2024.

The Joint Meeting 2024 will consist of a mixture of brief oral and video presentations comprising different areas of thoracic surgery and many other selected topics closely related to thoracic surgery and thoracic oncology, with special emphasis on diagnosis, staging and treatment of lung cancer. In addition, there will be breakfast sessions and lunch seminars specifically dedicated to relevant fields in thoracic surgery, and sessions of proffered papers in poster and video presentation format. A great effort has been made to present a programme with an outstanding content. In this meeting, particular attention has been given to the discussion time of the topics.

The Joint Meeting 2024 will take place in the Gothic Quarter of Barcelona, where the city originated and where the most emblematic public buildings are located: [ the Cathedral ], the imposing [ church of St. Maria del Mar ], one of the finest Gothic churches in Spain, and the [ Picasso Museum ]. Barcelona harbour, and the modernist buildings by Antonio Gaudi, [ La Pedrera ] and [ La Casa Batlló ], are within walking distance of the Gothic Quarter. Autumn certainly is the best time of year to visit Barcelona and you can enjoy pleasant walks in the city.

We hope you will honour us with your active participation in this Sixth Joint Meeting 2024. We are looking forward to seeing familiar and new faces among us. We count on you to make the meeting a real educational and scientific success.

With our kindest regards,

Objectives and Background

Objectives

This Sixth Joint Meeting has two principal goals: to provide the newest and the best evidence on several topics in thoracic surgery and oncology, and to review the most important details of time-honoured and new procedures and surgical techniques.

The scientific programme, a full immersion in thoracic surgery and oncology, will combine a series of short lectures with video forum sessions and educational seminars. Particular attention has been given to the discussion time of the topics in order to promote an active and rewarding participation.

The scientific programme is designed to meet the needs of residents as well as young and senior specialists in thoracic surgery, pneumology, and oncology, as well as that of related specialists, i. e., anaesthesiologists, nurses and chest physiotherapists.

Background

The International Meetings on General Thoracic Surgery were organized by the General Thoracic Surgery Unit of Sagrat Cor University Hospital in Barcelona, in 1992, 1994, 1997, 1999 and 2002. International Faculty members came from USA and Europe (H. Grillo, W.S. Payne, H. Ellis, P. Goldstraw, D. Mathisen, R. Landreneau, P. Pairolero, S. Hazelrigg, S. Cassivi, D. Lardinois, A. Patterson, D. Nuss, I. Vogt Moykopf, A. Lerut, E. Rendina, K. Naunheim, M.R. Mueller, and others) with a valuable contribution of the Spanish units in each of the meetings.

The International Workshops on Surgical Exploration of the Mediastinum and Systematic Nodal Dissection were organized in Terrassa, Barcelona, Spain, in 1998, 2000, 2003 and 2006. Nearly 100 speakers from Spain and abroad participated in these highly specific meetings. Their highlights were the live surgery programmes featuring systematic nodal dissection and lung resection for lung cancer performed by Japanese thoracic surgeons (T. Naruke, R. Tsuchiya, T. Goya, H. Kondo, H. Nomori, and H. Asamura), and videomediastinoscopies, extended cervical videomediastinoscopies, video-assisted mediastinal lymphadenectomies, performed by staff thoracic surgeons and invited thoracic surgeons who developed these techniques (M. Huertgen, B. Witte, M. Zielinski, and J. Kuzdzal). Additionally, topics such as transbronchial needle aspiration and bronchial and oesophageal ultrasound with fine needle aspiration were integrated into the programme due to its clinical relevance and utility.

The Thoracic Oncology, Thoracic Surgery and Techniques, Transplant, Nursing and Chest Physiotherapy Areas are multidisciplinary collaborative working groups of the Spanish Society of Pneumology and Thoracic Surgery (SEPAR) mainly composed by thoracic surgeons and pulmonologists, but also by oncologists, radiologists, pathologists, nurses, etc. The number and quality of the scientific publications, guidelines and meetings testify to the long tradition and prestige of these working teams. Some of the most relevant works have been those of 1) the Bronchogenic Carcinoma Cooperative Group I (GCCB-SEPAR-I) that registered data from nearly 3000 patients with lung cancer who had undergone surgical treatment from 1993 to 1997; from the analyses of the collected data, more than 30 publications in indexed journals have been already published; 2) the Spanish Multicentre Study of Neuroendocrine Tumours of the Lung (EMETNE-SEPAR), with more than 5 publications in indexed journals specifically related to the treatment and prognosis of neuroendocrine lung tumours; 3) the Spanish Group for Surgical Resection of Colo-Rectal Pulmonary Metastases (GECMP-CCR-SEPAR) that finished the registration of data from more than 540 patients treated surgically in 2010 and has published 6 papers till now; 4) the Bronchogenic Carcinoma Cooperative Group II (GCCB-SEPAR-II), specifically created to participate in the Prospective Lung Cancer Staging Project of the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer towards the 8th edition of the TNM classification of lung cancer, that already has registered online more than 2600 patients and has published recently the descriptive analysis of the registry; and 5) The Bronchogenic Carcinoma Cooperative Group III (GCCB-SEPAR-III) recently created to participate in the collection of data of the IALSC to inform the 9th edition of the TNM classification of lung cancer to be released in 2024.

In 2009, the leadership of these three long-standing initiatives joined their efforts in order to concentrate in a single meeting the updated information on several topics in the fields of general thoracic surgery and thoracic oncology. The result was the First International Joint Meeting on Thoracic Surgery that took place in Barcelona, Spain. National and international faculty members from all around the world came to Barcelona to share knowledge and experience on relevant topics and novel aspects of thoracic surgery. The successful result in terms of scientific quality, number of participants and encouraging feedback prompted us to promote the celebration of the second, third, fourth, fifth and now sixth editions of the International Joint Meeting on Thoracic Surgery.

In the Sixth International Joint Meeting on Thoracic Surgery we will keep two innovations previously introduced: 1) The collaboration of the Spanish Society of Thoracic Surgery (SECT), created in 2007. The Spanish Society of Thoracic Surgery organizes an annual congress as well as courses for residents in thoracic surgery. Its association with the Fifth International Joint Meeting on Thoracic Surgery was highly valuable, and there are all reasons to think it will continue to be so in the Sixth. 2) The incorporation of the Nursing and Physiotherapy Areas of the Spanish Society of Pneumology and Thoracic Surgery. Both groups of professionals constitute an important part of the managing team treating thoracic surgery patients. They will join us for the third time to discuss burning issues in their respective specialties.

Scientific Information

Instructions for speakers and chairpersons

The length of the video presentations, lectures and discussions is changeable and depends on the session.

Breakfast sessions: this type of session consists of two or three short lectures on related topics followed by a 15-25-minute discussion.

Lunch seminars and sponsored lunch sessions: the lunch seminars and sponsored lunch sessions consist of an up-to–date and concise review or other types of presentation regarding different topics in general thoracic surgery.

Video forum: 8-10 minute videos presentation. These videotapes should emphasize the most important steps and technical details of the surgical procedure, and their content must have a high educational value. Whenever possible, videos of related topics are grouped in the same session. Discussion will take place at the end of the session.

Lectures: Lectures will have a maximum duration of 10 minutes. Their contents must be precise and related to the title of the lecture. Whenever possible, lectures are grouped in sessions covering related topics. Speakers are kindly asked to avoid overlapping with other lectures of the same session. Discussion will take place at the end of the session.

Poster presentation: Abstracts of proffered papers will be considered for electronic poster display, only. Selected abstracts will be divided into three categories: a) general thoracic surgery; b) lung cancer staging and mediastinal lymph node dissection; and c) general topics on thoracic oncology. The presenters of the best 6 posters will have the opportunity to summarize their content in two minutes that will be followed by a 3-minute discussion. Prospective presenters are kindly asked to prepare their posters in English. There will not be any physical posters in this Joint Meeting. The presenters will be asked to submit their posters in a single Power Point slide. In the venue of the Joint Meeting, computers will be available to see the posters.
