STRETCH YOUR<br />

27 MARCH - 29 MARCH 2008<br />

ESPLANADE HOTEL, FREMANTLE<br />

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 />

Ms Christine Smith<br />

when you visit <strong>the</strong> Western Australian outback. This sun-kissed<br />

land is where you’ll discover <strong>the</strong> real Australia - <strong>the</strong> Australia <strong>of</strong><br />

remote wilderness - it’s raw, still and spectacular<br />

Visit <strong>the</strong> frontier town Kalgoorlie for an au<strong>the</strong>ntic gold mining<br />

experience. The Australian Prospectors and Miners Hall <strong>of</strong><br />
