Invitation

Dear colleagues  

It is our great pleasure and honor to extend this warm invitation to you to participate in the 2021 Symposium of the International Society of Oncoplastic Endocrine Surgeons (ISOPES) will be held in Seoul.

As you know, we have been dealing with the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic that has changed our daily lives. Considering the current situation, the organizing committee decided to hold the ISOPES as a Hybrid meeting (online/offline) and we will do our best to ensure a seamless connection with you. 

2021 Symposium of ISOPES is organized in various fields and themes. This year’s symposium offers sessions on topics of interest such as the global perspective and new trends of endocrine surgery. Various approaches such as BABA, Transaxillary, and Transoral thyroidectomy will cover in schedules. 

Although the pandemic prevents us from gathering in greater numbers, we have no doubt that fruitful, in-depth discussions will ensue either at the venue or in the on-line setting. We extend our deepest gratitude to the Director and members of the Academic Board for preparing an excellent program that will meet the expectations of all ISOPES colleagues. 

We look forward to your interest and proactive participation in the Symposium and hope that our joint efforts will soon bring about an end to the COVID-19 pandemic so that we may once again be free to gather in person. 

Sincerely yours,


Jee Soo Kim M.D., Ph.D. 

President, International Society of Oncoplastic Endocrine Surgeons
