Virtual Dupuytren's Symposium - 2021

The registration and program have been released for the next Dupuytren's Symposium and there are some interesting sessions that I am looking forward to attending. 

You can see the whole program here.

Highlights for me will be the session on radiotherapy because 1) It worked so well on me and 2) 2 of the papers being discussed are on the treatment of Ledderhose:

Session 4: Wednesday 3rd November, Time: 20:00 UTC (20:00 GMT)
Radiotherapy

Keynote: Radiotherapy for Dupuytren Disease
Dr. Richard Shaffer, The Dupuytren’s Practise, London, UK

1. A Randomized trial of Radiotherapy for Dupuytren’s Disease – DEPART
J. Martin, Newcastle, Australia
2. Radiotherapy in patients with painful Ledderhose disease: a randomised, multicenter, prospective, double-blind phase III trial.
A. de Haan, Groningen, The Netherlands
3. Radiotherapy for patients with Ledderhose disease: long-term efficacy, side effects and patient-rated outcome
A. de Haan, Groningen, The Netherlands

After this I am also looking forward to session 6 which is experimental treatments. Looking forward to getting an update on the anti-TNF treatment. 

It is a shame that the conference is having to be held virtually as last time it was such a great experience meeting up with everyone and learning a lot from all the different people at a single conference.
