Welcome Message

Dear colleagues,

We are delighted to announce the third edition of Deep Dives in Musculoskeletal Oncology - a unique Course set in the heart of the Mediterranean that aims to advance education and research, while fostering collaboration and the exchange of ideas in the field of Musculoskeletal Oncology and Limb Salvage Surgery, for both neoplastic and non-neoplastic conditions.

This highly anticipated Course will unite the clinical expertise and academic excellence of the Mayo Clinic, the University of Athens, and the University of Padova, in collaboration with other leading orthopaedic oncology centers across Europe, Asia, and the United States. The Scientific Program will offer a comprehensive approach to the management of musculoskeletal tumors and complex orthopedic reconstruction. Participants will benefit from expert-led lectures, interactive sessions, case discussions, hands-on techniques, and visually rich atlases - covering the latest developments and future directions in the field.

We warmly invite you to save the dates for this vibrant and collaborative learning experience - Deep Dives in Musculoskeletal Oncology, Limb Salvage, and Complex Reconstruction Surgery - to be held in July 2026 on the beautiful island of Spetses, Greece, hosted at the historic Anargyrios and Korgialenios School.

Located just a few hours from Athens, Spetses is a timeless gem of the Saronic Gulf, known for its elegant mansions, pine-covered landscapes, car-free old town, and rich maritime history. The island offers a tranquil yet inspiring environment for focused academic exchange and meaningful professional connections. The Anargyrios and Korgialenios School, with its grand architecture and storied past, provides a truly distinguished setting for the Course.

We look forward to welcoming you to this inspiring event in Spetses!
