Working Group Opening: MedTech for Rare Diseases
The Therapies Scientific Committee (TSC), the Interdisciplinary Scientific Committee (ISC) and the University of Twente, the Netherlands, are jointly establishing a Working Group to explore the role and value of medical devices in rare diseases. The Working Group will primarily focus on devices used for either the treatment of rare diseases, such as implants, and devices used to support physical activities of patients, such as exoskeletons.
The development of “orphan” devices faces scientific and technological challenges, next to the need for an improved clarity regarding the requirements for specific technical and functional [...]
On Wednesday December 15th at 19:00 – 20:30 CET a webinar is organised about “ETA guideline pediatric thyroid nodules and thyroid carcinoma”.
Pediatric differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) is a rare disease; however it’s worldwide incidence is rising. There are important differences between adult and pediatric DTC which is why a separate Pediatric Recommendation is necessary.
When compared to adult DTC, pediatric DTC often initially presents with more advanced disease. Despite the more aggressive presentation, pediatric DTC has an excellent prognosis. The most common genetic alterations in DTC are RET-PTC and NTRK fusions while mutations in BRAF, and RAS point mutations [...]
