WESTERN AUSTRALIA
INVITATION<br />
Dear Colleagues,<br />
On behalf <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> ALA, <strong>the</strong> Conference Organising Committee<br />
and <strong>the</strong> Scientific Committee, I am delighted to invite you<br />
to <strong>the</strong> Seventh Australasian Lymphology Association<br />
Conference to be held at <strong>the</strong> Esplanade Hotel, Fremantle<br />
<strong>from</strong> March 27 - 29 2008.<br />
The biennial conference serves as a key forum for attendees<br />
to share valuable information in all areas <strong>of</strong> Lymphology and<br />
Lymphoedema. Delegates have <strong>the</strong> opportunity to explore<br />
research, innovations and positive initiatives currently utilised<br />
in clinical practice. This conference’s <strong>the</strong>me is “<strong>exercise</strong> <strong>your</strong><br />
<strong>mind</strong>, <strong>stretch</strong> <strong>your</strong> <strong>boundaries</strong>”.<br />
I am pleased to confirm our keynote speaker <strong>from</strong> <strong>the</strong> US is<br />
Dr. Katie Schmitz. Kathryn Schmitz, PhD, has led nine <strong>exercise</strong><br />
related studies, including a randomised controlled trial to<br />
assess <strong>the</strong> effects <strong>of</strong> twice weekly strength training among 86<br />
recent breast cancer survivors (<strong>the</strong> Weight Training for Breast<br />
Cancer Survivors (WTBS) study, and an ongoing randomised<br />
controlled trial to assess <strong>the</strong> safety <strong>of</strong> upper body <strong>exercise</strong><br />
among 288 breast cancer survivors with and without<br />
lymphoedema (Physical Activity and Lymphoedema Trial (PAL)).<br />
Dr. Schmitz’s research extends <strong>from</strong> <strong>the</strong> role <strong>of</strong> physical activity<br />
in <strong>the</strong> prevention and aetiology <strong>of</strong> obesity related cancers to <strong>the</strong><br />
usefulness <strong>of</strong> activity for rehabilitation and health promotion in<br />
cancer survivors <strong>of</strong> all cancers. Her meta-analysis on <strong>the</strong> topic<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>exercise</strong> interventions in cancer patients and survivors<br />
provides a starting point for clinicians to understand <strong>the</strong> effects<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>exercise</strong> among cancer survivors. Dr. Schmitz’ long term<br />
pr<strong>of</strong>essional goal is to see that all oncologists and cancer<br />
patients will eventually be as cognisant <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> usefulness <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>exercise</strong> for cancer control as cardiologists already are for its<br />
role in controlling heart disease.<br />
Fremantle is <strong>the</strong> port city <strong>of</strong> Perth, which has <strong>the</strong> mediterranean<br />
coastal feel with <strong>the</strong> accompanying climate, and is also a<br />
historical re<strong>mind</strong>er <strong>of</strong> Australia’s convict past. The conference<br />
venue <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Esplanade Hotel combines close proximity to<br />
historical buildings, tourist landmarks and a shopping precinct<br />
to provide a fantastic setting for what we intend will be a most<br />
memorable conference.<br />
Finally no conference would be complete without exciting<br />
social and networking events. Delegates can enjoy welcome<br />
drinks on Thursday evening, breakfast sessions and a gala<br />
conference dinner on Friday evening. We have provided a<br />
varied, fun and exciting program <strong>of</strong> pr<strong>of</strong>essional and social<br />
experiences for you to fully appreciate <strong>your</strong> conference and<br />
<strong>the</strong> hospitalities <strong>of</strong> Fremantle.<br />
We hope you will join us in March in Fremantle to <strong>stretch</strong> <strong>your</strong><br />
<strong>boundaries</strong> relating both to <strong>the</strong> <strong>boundaries</strong> that we set<br />
ourselves and <strong>the</strong> potential to broaden <strong>the</strong>se with exposure to<br />
new ideas and information. It also relates to <strong>the</strong> <strong>boundaries</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />
distance, which should be welcomed as an opportunity to<br />
travel to our exciting State and participate in a conference held<br />
in what we believe to be a unique and wonderful part <strong>of</strong><br />
Western Australia.<br />
