CONFERENCE FINISHED. THANK YOU FOR PARTICIPATING!

SCIENTIFIC & ORGANIZING COMMITTEE

Welcome from the Conference Chair

Dear friends, 

On behalf of Lithuanian Cervical Pathology and Colposcopy Section next to Lithuanian Association of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (LAOG) and EFC we invite you to join us in the 3rd Baltic Colposcopy Conference. Unfortunately, due to the worldwide Coronavirus outbreak, this Conference will be held Online on 26-27th of February, 2021. 

Three Baltic countries – Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia – aimed to organize the Baltic Colposcopy Conference every second year and it is the third time we are going to meet together. We are happy to announce that this is the first time the Conference is being held by Lithuania. 

All three Baltic countries have one of the highest cervical cancer incidences in Europe. Recently there have been many developments in the field of cervical cancer prevention. We have effective vaccines, HPV tests, diagnostic devices etc. We have screening programmes that enable us to make further steps in diagnosis and treatment of cervical pathology and to reduce the risk of illness. Nevertheless, at some point colposcopy is a very important step in the pyramid and poor colposcopy may compromise all the prevention and screening tests done. Effective collaboration and regular focused meetings are a good opportunity to come together and discuss common problems, training guidelines and clinical performance quality standards.

Lithuania still has challenges in performing and training the colposcopy. Training, algorithms, guidelines and evidence based medicine may help us in a shared interest in reducing the burden of avoidable disease. The exchange of the experience between specialists of the three Baltic countries and international experts in the field of cervical cancer prevention is an important step towards improvement of the colposcopy service in the Baltic region. Hope that Pre-Conference Basic Course on Colposcopy will help us to make one more step in improving the care of woman in cervical screening programs.

We very much hope you will find a high-level scientific forum to be useful and comprehensive. Your knowledge, questions and suggestions are very welcome in the Q and A session as well.

 

Sincerely, 

Members

It is the provisional capital of Lithuania, famous for its colourful history, cosy parks, remarkable and wonderful Old Town and interwar spirit. 

Kaunas Old Town

Kaunas Old Town – the oldest part of Kaunas, located to the east of the confluence of the rivers, occupies 144 hectares. There are a lot of surviving Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque buildings, especially in the western part of the Old Town. Many notable buildings and facilities are located in the Old Town, such as the Kaunas Town Hall, the Kaunas Castle and the Historical Presidential Palace, House of Perkunas, Kaunas Cathedral, the Church of St. Gertrude, Vytautas' church and many other churches.
Vilnius street is the most beautiful street of the Old Town, meant for pedestrians. Some buildings have survived from the 16th century, some of which have been reconstructed. Even the unique telephone booths are a clear indication that you are walking along the street, which connects the old and the new parts of the city.

Kaunas is the City of Basketball

Basketball is of an exceptional importance for Lithuanian people. The basketball club Zalgiris from Kaunas is the oldest and the most successful men's basketball club in Lithuania. Arvydas Sabonis, the brightest basketball star in Lithuania, played for Zalgiris team. The first official basketball game in Kaunas was held in 1922. Kaunas Sports Hall was built in 1939.

Kaunas Modernistic Architecture

In 2015 Kaunas was granted the sign of European heritage and included into the list of UNESCO design cities. Nowadays – this is an exceptional inheritance, witnessing the golden period of flourishment of the city, when Kaunas as a historical capital of Lithuania developed its modernistic architecture in parallel with other European cities. 
In Lithuania, modernistic architecture developed into its own specific form and is therefore called the Kaunas school of architecture.
