International Cancer Imaging Society


Welcome !

Message from the President

Welcome to the International Cancer Imaging Society (ICIS), a professional body established to promote continuous education in oncological imaging, and stimulate research in the study of human tumour behaviour.
ICIS brings together radiologists, nuclear medicine and other specialists for the exchange of ideas. We hold our annual meeting in Europe, as well as satellite meetings held jointly with national societies; past venues have been Hong Kong, South Africa, Kuwait and Hungary. In October 2012, the 12th ICIS Annual Teaching Course will be held in Oxford, UK - do join us if you can.

I invite you to JOIN ICIS to benefit from reduced registration fees at all ICIS meetings; plus full access to the Society's online journal Cancer Imaging, Impact Factor 1.857.

The year to come promises to be an exciting one for the Society. I hope you will join us and help to further invigorate this exciting field of clinical practice and research.

SUR Lifetime Achievement Award 2012 presented to ICIS past president Jelle Barentsz

On 2 March 2012 the Society of Uroradiology, met in Scottsdale, Arizona. The Society acknowledged the groundbreaking work undertaken during his career by awarding Professor Jelle Barentsz (ICIS past president) the SUR Lifetime Achievement Award 2012.

 
Also discussed and formalised was the merging of the Society of Uroradiology and the Society of Gastrointestinal Radiologists to form the Society of Abdominal Radiology. The two Societies first collaborated in 2000, as they produced the First Abdominal Radiology Course, which will continue under the Society of Abdominal Radiology.  The success of the Course was one of many reasons why the two organizations felt they could be stronger and provide more benefits to members as one society. 
 
Several ICIS Fellows are members of this new society, having previously been involved with one of the two founding societies. The Society of Abdominal Radiology was formed with the vision of being the organization the medical profession as a whole look to for expertise in abdominal radiology.

Lapatinib Combined With Cetuximab Overcomes Resistance In EGFR-Driven Tumors

Published: Fri, 18 May 2012 07:00:00 GMT

Targeted therapies have been studied for years, but recent laboratory research is providing robust clues about drugs that might work better in combination, particularly in treating cancers that have become resistant to therapy. That kind of information is behind a novel clinical trial at Georgetown Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center that combines cetuximab and lapatinib...
