On invitation onlyThis preceptorship has been designed to provide a practical, evidence-based roadmap for the diagnosis and management of mastocytosis and related conditions.
Although awareness of mast cell disorders is steadily increasing, many misconceptions and knowledge gaps remain, particularly in relation to clinical presentation, diagnostic pathways, and treatment options.
The programme is tailored for allergists, internists, haematologists, dermatologists, and rheumatologists who wish to strengthen their expertise in the day-to-day management of patients with mast cell disorders.
The course will be led by Professor Vito Sabato, supported by a distinguished multidisciplinary faculty of allergists, haematologists, and rheumatologists.
