Welcome Message

Dear Colleagues,

I would like to welcome you to the first ASPIRE Masterclass on PCOS to be held in Hanoi, Vietnam. PCOS is the commonest endocrine condition of women and increasingly it is being recognised that it has longterm health effects and may also have implications for family members such as parents and brothers. There has been an explosion of knowledge about the genetics of the condition, and also the metabolic sequeale and their appropriate management. Good randomised trials have appeared regarding the optimal use of oral medications and new IVF techniques are revolutionising the reduction of ovarian hyper stimulation syndrome.

It is increasingly being recognised that we need evidence to develop appropriate therapies and, as part of this, it has been recognised that many patients have emotional struggles as well as the cosmetic and weight issues that follow many patients with PCOS. In planning this meeting we have some of the best experts in the area who will discuss their latest findings with you, will be available for case and personal discussions, and because of the deliberate low attendance at the meeting, you will have ample opportunity to get to know the speakers and interface with them. We are restricting it to only 80 participants and, with an outstanding faculty representing the region, Europe and the United States, we should be able to tackle many of the major problems of PCOS that you encounter in your clinical practice.

The local host, the Vietnamese Association of Gynecology and Obstetrics (VAGO, President Nguyen Viet Tien) and ASPIRE (President Chii-Ruey Tzeng) welcome you to come to this wonderful city with its French architecture and good weather, and at the same time learn about a compelling condition that is going to become increasingly important.
With best wishes,

Professor Robert Norman
Chair, ASPIRE Masterclass
