nd a y s t r n a o p i t c ti c e ar P r s i D erclas ardees t w Mas wship A o Fell 1st edition published on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the Masterclass in Clinical Oncology DIRECTORY The European School of Oncology is extremely pleased to present the first directory of selected winners of its clinical fellowship scheme and participants of the 10 editions of the Masterclass in Clinical Oncology. Started formally in the year 2000, the ESO fellowship fund is aimed at supporting the different phases of a future cancer doctor’s career: travel and participation grants are made available to medical students to participate in the annual ad hoc course, to young oncologists to take part in the annual clinical masterclass and to more senior clinicians to attend the updating educational conference in Lugano. In addition to this support scheme, fellowships are available for intense specific training of senior clinicians willing to expand their knowledge on specific cancer issues. These fellowships are intitled to the memory of oncologists who contributed enormously to the growth of the School and who are passed away. To honour the memory of some of the pioneers and leaders of European Oncology, the 2012 Clinical Fellowhips are named as follows: • Breast cancer surgery: Guidubaldo Querci Della Rovere • Clinical trials: Henry Tagnon • Leukaemia: Carl Schmidt • Lymphoma: Santiago Pavlovsky • Gynaecological oncology: Nina Einhorn • Oncology nursing: Susan Hubbard • Paediatric oncology: Tom Voute • Radiotherapy: Lucien Josef Vanuytsel • Surgical oncology: Bruno Salvadori The general ESO Fellowship fund is supported by private donations and it is uniquely dedicated to clinical education in cancer medicine. As specifically requested by the donors these fellowships cannot be granted to basic research. The ESO Clinical Masterclass Fellowship fund is supported by the annual contribution of the ESO industrial Sustaining Members (see back-cover) who have in such a way often made an incredible difference in the professional life of these young doctors who are now definitely expected to be among tomorrow’s opinion leaders in oncology. Alberto Costa, M.D. Director This directory only includes the data on those colleagues who have given ESO the permission to make them public. Consequently, it does not represent the full number of Masterclass participants and fellowships assigned by the European School of Oncology. 1 Masterclass Faculty ESO wishes to express its gratitude to all the faculty members who have contributed to the success of the Masterclass and whose commitment has been invaluable.

The European School of Oncology edge to the treatment of patients class in Clinical Oncology for young (ESO) was famously founded on a that is at the heart of ESO initiatives, oncologists has come to be seen as misdiagnosis and its unique selling exemplified in its motto ‘Learning to a key event bringing together those point is to prevent tragedies based care’. most eager to learn and those most on ignorance and lack of education.

You cannot come here through paying a registration fee. You have to write a motivation about why you want to come and you have to prepare a case study and then you may be accepted.” LEARNING FROM DIFFICULT CASES What is now the ESO–ESMO Masterclass in Clinical Oncology celebrated its 10th anniversary in April 2011 at the Wolfsberg Centre, by Lake Constance, in Switzerland. The venue (it belongs to UBS investment bankers) exudes a sense of calm order. The Masterclass is a ferment of bubbling activity. The daily routine is rigorous: breakfast by 8.00am, first presentation at 8.30am, and (with breaks) presentations through till 4.30pm. Then the day begins again, as the participants split into groups and present and discuss case studies from their own hospitals. By the time they close, it has been 11 hours of intense concentration. The presentations read like a Who’s Who of European oncology: Aron Goldhirsch on breast cancer, Jan Vermorken on gynaecological cancers, Jacques Bernier on head and neck cancers, Eric van Cutsem on colorectal cancer, Rolf Stahel on lung cancer. For the case study discussions, nobody brings a straightforward case. The history is revealed step by step, usually with recurrence or complications following treatment and some There is something magical about his ability to pop up with a slide containing the most relevant research results during discussion tough choices at the end. With 15 to 20 young oncologists in each group there are echoes of the hit TV series House, in which bright young doctors outdo each other in diagnoses and suggested treatment. The faculty member for one group is Nicholas Pavlidis, professor at the Department of Medical Oncology in Ioannina, Greece, and joint chair of the Masterclass. He’s far too nice to be “Dr House”, but there is some- these are not cases but people. So one case study involves a mother of two children diagnosed with colorectal cancer in 2008. She has been treated for aggressive disease and liver metastases with cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). By March 2011, after many rounds of treatment, there is no obvious sign of disease. Should they be adopting invasive diagnostic tests? Pavlidis Now where are we? Wolfgang Gatzemeier, one of the Masterclass coordinators checks the packed timetable with Chatrina Melcher, Masterclass organiser thing magical about his ability to pop up with a slide containing the most relevant research results during discussion. And (unIike the malignant Dr House) Pavlidis always brings the students back to the human perspective – asks what the outcome will be if the cancer has returned and all agree that they will have run out of options. Gently, he suggests that the additional tests will bring distress to the patient without benefit. Another case concerns a young 5 woman who presented with adenocarcinoma, and was initially treated apparently successfully. But after recurrence and further treatment hepatic metastases were found. Despite hepatic metastasectomy, it is clear that the cancer has not been cured. Pavlidis points out that she is still alive six years after her initial diagnosis, and for much of that time has been able to live a normal life. Is this a treatment that has failed, as the young doctor may feel, or one that has given this young woman years of good-quality life, critical years with her young children? More than 50% of them are now professors in universities inside or outside Europe sors in universities inside or outside Europe,” he says. He is sure this pattern will be repeated with the current Masterclass series. “We offer real education by distinguished experts from Europe. What makes the difference is that not only do you teach the big killers but you also have these people sitting in these kind of groups presenting A marathon. Students listen to presentations from international experts between 8.30 am and 4.30 pm, before splitting up for group sessions Pavlidis has been described as the ‘father’ of the Masterclass. Almost 30 years ago, in 1982, as a young Fellow at the Royal Marsden Hospital in the UK, he attended the first ESO course in Milan. “If you look at who were participants then, more than 50% of them are now profes- 6 their own clinical cases. We analyse and criticise and give directions.” UP FOR THE CHALLENGE The participants are clearly up for the challenge. Jochen Bauer qualified as a doctor seven years ago and now works in internal medicine at the Esslingen Hospital in Germany, specialising in cancer and haematology. “My consultant took part in this Masterclass several years ago and recommended it warmly,” he said. “He is certainly right about this. It updates you on the facts and on standard diagnosis and treatment. It is hard work, but it is definitely worth it.” Andreia Costa, a medical oncology fellow at the Hospital de São João, Portugal, takes her final medical oncology exams in 2012. “This is a fantastic revision for me and it is very important for my training. It is very intensive, but we do get some breaks between sessions. I particularly value the discussion of the cases in small groups and over coffee.” Davit Zohrabyan, a medical oncologist at the Yerevan State Medical University Hospital in Armenia, sees the course as a lifeline to knowledge that is not easily available in his home country. He saved up the questions he could not answer at home so he could ask the experts here. “Armenia is a small country and it is not rich and it does not have big research programmes. It is very important for me and for my country that I get acquainted with the new methods and practice. I want to be informed with all the important new scientific knowledge. I want to work DIRECTORY It is very important for me and for my country that I get acquainted with the new methods and practice together with science.” Inevitably, after 10 years, the pupils start to become teachers. Elżbieta Senkus-Konefka was one of 53 students on the very first Masterclass held in Montecantini, Italy, in 2002. Now a specialist in radiotherapy and medical oncology in Gdansk, Poland, she has returned for the past two years to lecture on treatment for metastatic breast cancer. “My career is an example of someone who graduates from these courses and then becomes an expert. When I applied I was just starting on medical oncology. I wrote that this was at a very important point for me because I had just switched to a second specialty. Ten years ago hardly anyone from Eastern Europe went to international conferences or was considered an expert. I was one of the few to do so.” Although the course was also intensive in her day, she does remember then that some of the presentations were by the pool rather than the lecture hall. But as she looks around at her audience she is sure that there are others, like her, for whom this is making a real difference. Razvan Popescu, medical oncologist at the Hirslanden Clinic in Aarau, Switzerland, is one of two scientific coordinators. “One of the reasons why I became involved is because of the experience of both good and bad quality teaching that I have had myself. There are certain countries and big institutions that have superb training programmes, but many trainees do things by trial and error and they are not really guided in their learning.” Popescu is active with the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) and in his work on the ESMO awards committee he saw many CVs of young doctors from eastern Europe who needed support. “Certain countries, not exclusively in central and eastern Europe, have teaching that is mandatory for them to attend, but it does not take them forward – they don’t learn. These young people are the future of oncology in Europe. What ESO is doing, and I am delighted it is now doing it in partnership with ESMO, oncology coming and lecturing, but also interacting with them.” Should the course ease up a little? Can anyone concentrate for 11 hours a day? The other coordinator, Wolfgang Gatzemeier, believes that the benefit is worth the pain. “At the beginning, I say you are here for a marathon. I did it for 10 years and I survived and you will survive as well. I know it is not easy to follow presentations for such a long time, but they also have time to reflect and talk to each other.” He points out that the students do not have to remember everything as they get a book of presentations and access to the slides online. THE LATEST DATA – IN CONTEXT Gatzemeier, a breast surgeon, believes that the Masterclasses have added value over the large scientific conferences. “The big conferences like ASCO and ESMO present the hot data that just came out that moment. Here we present the comprehensive picture, where the latest data are integrated, but the background is also prepared. But many trainees do things by trial and error and they are not really guided in their learning has been to set up a very, very good course. One of the main drivers for me to continue to participate is the live interaction which develops between the faculty and students. They get the crème of European “When you go to the major conferences and congresses you can get lost in all that they have to offer. Here in this more relaxed ambience, people are taught by top faculty in a very intensive way. The most impor- 7 tant information is presented and everybody has an opportunity to gain as much as possible from what is offered here. “We ask people at the end if it is too much and yes, some complain that it is too compressed, but they also always ask us to do something more as well! From our follow-up, we see that for many participants this was a crucial point in their career, so that they may have the opportunity to become head of a department.” ESO is not resting on its laurels. In May 2011 it held a Balkan Masterclass in Clinical Oncology in Dubrovnik, Croatia, co-chaired by Popescu, who is originally from Romania, and by Semir Bešlija from the Institute of Oncology in Sarajevo, Bosnia. Like the full Masterclass, this was a residential course paid for by sponsors, although slightly shorter, at three days. The Balkans course was also open to surgeons who are not covered by the main Masterclass. Popescu explained that the aim was to devise a course that was particularly relevant to the clinical environment in the region. “Some people come and hear things that they won’t ever be able to put into practice, like monoclonals and targeted small agents that cost a fortune. “There are people from the region who are exceptionally bright and sometimes manage to come to Western institutions and do superbly well. It is painful that if they want to return to their own region they find they are not only struggling with financial issues, they are also 8 struggling with systemic issues and the culture.” The Dubrovnik Masterclass emphasised the improvements in the quality of medicine that flow from interdisciplinarity and discussing a case together. A MASTERCLASS IN CANCER NURSING The Masterclass in Switzerland was not only about doctors: 22 nurses with many of the same objectives. “This is a Masterclass and the idea is that we are training future leaders, so this is very much about clinical experience and about looking at key skills and developing practice. We have looked at putting in place the advanced assessment skills that in many countries aren’t systematic or taught. It is not just about the latest breast cancer treatment it is about It’s for nurses too. Twenty-two cancer nurses attended a nursing Masterclass held in parallel; this group is discussing issues in patient communication also attended from 15 countries. It was the tenth Masterclass for doctors, and the fourth for nurses. Funding is in place for the nursing course to take place alongside the medical course for the next two years. Some presentations are shared with medics, but the nurses also break out to look at the advanced practice of nursing cancer patients. Sara Faithfull, President of the European Oncology Nursing Society (EONS), chaired the nursing course how you would as a nurse manage targeted therapies and manage the side effects and look more specifically at the quality of life issues and enhancing care.” The pedagogical methods used by the nurses are very different, based around group work and group discussion. In a communication segment they discuss how to respond when a patient inevitably asks: “How long have I got?” or when a relative says: “Don’t tell them what DIRECTORY they have got.” Nurse training and practice differ across Europe, and EONS has been working to improve online training opportunities for nurses, many of whom get less than three days a year away from the ward for training. But as with the doctors, there is little that can beat the face-to-face interaction. Sandrine Decosterd, from the Geneva University Hospitals feels that this personal sharing of experience and motivation is most valuable. “This course also gives you a lot of knowledge in a short time – both scientific knowledge and nursing knowledge.” Margreet Pieters, an advanced nurse consultant at the University Medical Center in Groningen, the Netherlands, says: “The Masterclass enables you to interact with colleagues around Europe. For me the role of the cancer nurse is that we see the whole patient – not only the illness. Quality of life is very important.” Elana Laska teaches palliative care nursing in Albania, where there are few oncology nurses. As an advocate to improve the role and skills of nurses, she was keen to share her knowledge when she got home. “Every time I go for training I prepare a report. I hold meetings with the team and give them my experiences. I write notes every night about what I have seen and all the things I am thinking about how we can do something differently.” EONS is planning to get academic accreditation for the next nurse AN EXCELLENT REPORT CARD Students rate the Masterclass highly for useful and relevant education. A review of doctors attending the first nine Masterclasses shows that almost 60% were aged 30–34 years old, and 37% were aged 35–45. Participants were evenly divided, males and females. The vast majority of participants (72%) were medical oncologists, with 6% radiation oncologists and 6% clinical oncologists. Some had not yet finally decided on their areas of specialisation. Two thirds (67%) came from European Union countries, 25% from nonEU countries of Europe and 8% from outside Europe – mainly the Middle East and Latin America. Feedback by students is very positive. Over the first nine years the overall median score for the quality of education was of 3.54 out of 4. Information was rated as useful and relevant (median 3.64) and well balanced with good evidence (3.59), with adequate time for discussion and questions (3.51). Masterclasses have been held in Italy, Spain, Cyprus, Malta, Bulgaria and Portugal, but the Wolfsberg Centre, at Ermatingen, Switzerland received almost perfect scores for facilities, management and organisation and it is clear that ESO hopes it will be able to return.

Eur J Cancer 46:2159– 2165 Masterclass using case studies online afterwards to see how it has changed nurses’ practice. Alberto Costa feels that the Masterclass concept is much stronger when it includes doctors and nurses and he praises the sponsors for putting money into education, without wanting to put their names all over everything. Cutting the cake to mark the tenth anniversary of the medical Masterclass, he pointed out that there are now more than 500 people who have been through the course, “a little army of brilliant young oncologists all over Europe.” The average age of those attending the course seems to be dropping and the majority are under 35. It will not be many years before the students attending the Masterclass will not even have been born when ESO began. For now, it can be said that they have grown up together and that together they undoubtedly make a difference to the practice of oncology. 9 THE 10th ANNIVERSARY OF THE MASTERCLASS IN CLINICAL ONCOLOGY OF THE EUROPEAN SCHOOL OF ONCOLOGY (ESO) Nicholas Pavlidis, MD, PhD Co-Chairman of the Masterclass in Clinical Oncology Professor of Medical Oncology Medical School, University of Ioannina, 451 10 Ioannina, Greece Wolfgang Gatzemeier, MD ESO-Masterclass Scientific Coordinator Chatrina Melcher ESO- Masterclass Organiser The mission Since its inauguration in 1982, The European School of Oncology (ESO) has been promoting cancer education in Europe and abroad. The original idea of the school is to fight against cancer in optimising training and updating competence of physicians and health care workers dealing with cancer patients in providing them with a comprehensive understanding of oncology. ESO’s mission is reflected in its motto “Learning to Care”, which stresses the concept of studying and learning and also of caring for the patient in a global sense. By improving the skills of all health professionals dealing with cancer patients, ESO’s mission is to shorten the length of time needed to transfer knowledge from advanced research centres to daily practice, combining advanced technology with humanism in care. Among the various activities of ESO) the Masterclass is considered as the “key educational event” of the School. The concept of the Masterclass was conceived in 2001 and the first Masterclass in Clinical Oncology was held in 2002. Since then, the Masterclass design was expanded to further disciplines and held in collaboration with the 10 main European cancer societies (Masterclass in Radiation Oncology with ESTRO, Masterclass in Paediatric Oncology with SIOP-E, Masterclass in Oncology Nursing with EONS, Masterclass in Surgical Oncology with ESSO. Since 2008 the MCO is a joint venture with the European Society of Medical Oncology (ESMO) The Masterclass is part of ESO’s Sharing Progress in Cancer Care programme. The focus of this review is the Masterclass in Clinical Oncology (MCO). Since 2002 ten editions of took place in various European cities. Two in Limassol (Cyprus), 2 in St. Julians (Malta), 2 in Ermatingen (Switzerland) , and one in Montecantini (Italy), Tennerife (Spain), Sofia (Bulgaria) and Sintra (Portugal) (see Table 1). The Programme The ESO-ESMO Masterclass in Clinical Oncology is a unique educational event designed for medical and clinical oncologists who wish to improve their skills or those who are preparing for the national board examination. The programme exposes participants to a full spectrum of issues in clinical oncology and practice DIRECTORY Table 1.

The MCO is an interactive, multidisciplinary full-immersion, 5-days residential course with compulsory participation throughout the programme. The MCO offers: • plenary lectures on the most common cancers regarding state-of –the -art clinical evaluation and treatments with reference to clinical guidelines which are concluded in take home messages. • tumor board sessions with case discussion after the clinical sessions • spotlight sessions facilitate a compact update on various topics (i.e. supportive care, hematological malignancies, palliative care, etc) • case presentations delivered by the participants and discussion with the chairmen and the faculty within small groups. All participants and faculty reside at the course facilitating informal discussions and communication. The Participants Admission to the MCO is by competitive application and attendance is limited to 60 participants and the criteria for admission are: (a) age of 30-40 years, (b) at least 2-3 years experience in oncology, (c) involvement in scientific or research activities, (d) fluency in English, (e) submission of an application form, (d) letter of motivation and (e) supporting letter from the head of the department, (f) curriculum vitae and (h) submission of a clinical case relating to one of the subjects of the MCO. Around 60 participants are selected annually by an ESO Committee. ESO offers free registration and accommodation to selected participants. During the past 10 MCO (2002-2011) 546 participants have been selected. Almost 70% were below age 35 and 55% were females. Seventyfive percent were medical oncologists, 11% clinical oncologists, 4% radiotherapists and 10% were surgeons, pathologists or radiologists. The majority of participants, (67.5%) were originated from countries of the European Union, 22% from nonEuropean Union countries and 10.5% were nonEuropeans (Asia, Africa or South America). The Faculty An international faculty of more than 30 European distinguished academic experts including mainly medical oncologists (41%), radiation (14%) oncologists and surgical oncologists (17.5%) are involved. Other scientists i.e. pathologists, radiologists, psychologists, molecular biologists, etc are also contributing. Most faculty members are well known experts from prominent European Universities or Cancer Centres. At the end of most days three members of the faculty discuss in a very interactive way for 1 ½ h clinical cases submitted and presented by the participants in small groups of 20 students. The Questionnaire A questionnaire including the evaluation of the course in general, content, organization and speakers is distributed to all participants. In addition, it is requested to provide helpful suggestions concerning the programme. They are asked to score each question concerning the topics and faculty members based on a grading scale from 1 to 4 (1=poor, 2=fair, 3=good, 4=excellent). All characteristics (overall rating, achievement of the set goals, usefulness of information, evidence-based teaching, interaction) were rated from 3.51 to 3.68, whereas facilities and organization of the course from 3.61 to 3.71. In addition, the rating by teaching topic 11 were also highly rated (3.21-3.52). The most highly scored topics were gastrointestinal cancer and hematological malignancies (3.52), followed by lung cancer (3.46) as well as breast and genito-urological cancers (3.42). Also, clinical case presentations were highly rated by the participants (3.48) (see Table 2). The challenge MCO attendees are taught by top faculty presenting the comprehensive picture, where the latest data are integrated, but the background is also prepared. The most important information is delivered and everybody has an opportunity to gain as much as possible from what is offered. Mediating oncological knowledge and principles in this way these intensive five days of full immersion in modern oncology create a collective spirit of teaching and learning to improving clinical skills and patient care. The follow-up of MCO alumni clearly demonstrated, that for many participants this event was a crucial point in their career. Reference 1.
