To the participating institutions of the VISION trial
(vacuum biopsy of cancers in complete remission after neoadjuvant chemotherapy)

Have you already confirmed your participation?
or
are you interested in a study participation?

To keep the false negative rate of vacuum biopsy (VAB) of the former tumour bed (= clip location) and the immediate surrounding at a low level, we are organizing specific VAB Hands-on courses in Austria and Switzerland within the next months. In Switzerland, these will be integrated into the regular Hands-on MIBB Certification Courses. The objective is to reliably suck off the surrounding of the clip and the clip itself by means of VAB.

Provided, the participants have sufficient knowledge of VAB (i.e. registered as MIBB member in Switzerland/ in Non-Swiss regions sufficient expertise in VAB with > 40 VAB within the last 2 y), we recommend a VISION-Trial Hands-on instruction (at a charge of 40 Fr to cover catering and course material); The VISION-Trial instruction will be integrated into the next MIBB Hands-on Certification Course on Wednesday, 28th August, 2019 at the Cantonal Hospital St. Gallen (one day prior to the Senology Congress).

Time: 1.45 -3.30 am (13.45 -15.30) –with no additional entitlement to participate instereotact./ MR-vacuum biopsy and with no certificate of attendance (for that the entire course would need to be visited)
