The 7th Asian Conference on Tumor Ablation, which was scheduled to be held as ACTA 2020 TOKYO last year, had to be canceled due to the spread of the novel Coronavirus. We are delighted to announce that it will be newly established as ACTA 2021 TOKYO which will be held on October 15(Fri) – 17(Sun), 2021 at the Kioi Conference (Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo). Professor Shuichiro Shiina of Juntendo will serve as the chairman.
The specific details about the event, program, and information on registration are to be announced on the homepage and this blog as needed.

 

ACTA is an annual forum for ablation specialists in Asia aimed at updating their knowledge and sharing experiences on all ablation techniques such as radiofrequency, microwave, and cryoablation. It also aims at discussing their indications not only for the liver but also for the lung, thyroid, kidney, bone, soft tissue, and all other organs.
Asia is the region with the world’s largest population which has the highest prevalence of liver cancer. For that reason, there are highest number of doctors who perform ablation procedure which led to world’s largest market. Asia is the birthplace of ablation such as ethanol injection and microwave ablation, and it has been leading the world in terms of techniques and experience. We believe that we have the responsibility of leading the world into a new stage of ablation.
Ablation is used to treat many patients, especially those with cancer. Minimally invasive yet curative and cost-effective ablation will be required to play an even greater role in the health care of our aging societies.
The theme for ACTA 2021 TOKYO is “Lead the World.” We hope it will remind all participants of ACTA’s position in the international community as well as of the role of ablation in medical care going forward. We will invite numerous specialists from Japan and abroad to present their clinical experience and research outcomes, engage in debates, and contribute to our drive to “Lead the World.”
We look forward to having you join us at ACTA 2021 TOKYO.
