2 Mot du Président du Congrès Mesdames, Messieurs, Cher(e)s Collègues Depuis Octobre 2000, date de la création de l Institut National de Pathologie, beaucoup de nouveautés ont vu le jour en anatomie pathologique. L INP a réussi durant ces années à relever le défi: Des techniques de routine, aux techniques d immuno histochimie et de biologie moléculaire, automatisées aux plus hauts degrés, aucun moyen n a été épargné, de telle façon que l INP entame l année 2013 avec une plateforme d automates et des techniques de pointe rivalisant avec les plus grands centres régionaux et mondiaux. D autre part, une collaboration étroite avec la «Faculté des Sciences Médicales de l Université Libanaise», qui a connu un essor très important, avec le développement de nouvelles disciplines et l acquisition de moyens modernes d éducation, fut très fructueuse donnant naissance a de nombreux programmes éducatifs aboutissant a la formation de résidents de haut niveau, appréciés de leurs pairs et des services qu ils ont fréquentés. L INP se trouve ainsi doté, en plus, d un label académique. L évolution rapide des technologies, en association avec le développement de la «thérapeutique ciblée» ne pouvait que susciter des explications, des demandes d éclaircissements et une coordination maximale avec les différentes disciplines médicales, pour une prise en charge adéquate des patients. Ce congrès a été imaginé dans deux buts: Le premier, essayer de répondre d une façon collégiale aux questions soulevées par nos collègues et arriver autant que possible a un consensus pour la prise en charge du patient. Le second, faire connaitre a nos collègues, le rayonnement de l Université Libanaise et l infrastructure de «l Institut National de Pathologie INP», son personnel médical, ses capacités techniques nouvelles ainsi que leurs champs d application. J espère que ce congres multidisciplinaire va rentrer dans le cadre des «us et coutumes» de l INP et de l Université, et qu on sera souvent, et a un rythme soutenu, au rendez-vous avec nos spécialistes. Je remercie tous ceux qui ont collaboré pour rendre cet événement possible. Bienvenue à vous tous.

7 Merck Serono Oncology Combination is key TM ERBITUX (cetuximab) abbreviated prescribing information. NOTE: Before prescribing ERBITUX, please consult the full prescribing information. Presentation: *ERBITUX 2mg/ml solution for infusion. Each glass vial contains 50 ml. Excipients: Sodium dihydrogen phosphate, disodium phosphate, sodium chloride, water for injections. *ERBITUX 5mg/ml solution for infusion. Each glass vial contains 10 ml, 20 ml, 50 ml or 100 ml. Not all vial sizes may be marketed. Excipients: sodium chloride, glycine, polysorbate 80, citric acid monohydrate, sodium hydroxide, water for injections. Indications: Treatment of patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-expressing, KRAS wild-type metastatic colorectal cancer (mcrc): in combination with chemotherapy, or as a single agent in patients who have failed oxaliplatin- and irinotecan-based therapy and who are intolerant to irinotecan. Treatment of patients with squamous cell cancer of the head and neck (SCCHN): in combination with radiation therapy for locally advanced disease or in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy for recurrent and/or metastatic disease. Dosage and administration: Administer ERBITUX once a week. Very first dose 400 mg/m 2 infused over 120 mins; subsequent doses 250 mg/m 2 infused over 60 mins. Maximum infusion rate must not exceed 10 mg/min. Administration must be supervised by a physician experienced in antineoplastic therapy. Closely monitor the patient throughout the infusion and for at least 1 hour afterwards. Resuscitation equipment must be ensured. Prior to first infusion patients must receive premedication with an antihistamine and a corticosteroid; premedication recommended for all subsequent infusions. *ERBITUX 2mg/ml: Administer intravenously via in-line filtration with an infusion pump, gravity drip or a syringe pump. *ERBITUX 5 mg/ml: Administer intravenously with an infusion pump, gravity drip or a syringe pump. Administer ERBITUX first and do not administer chemotherapeutic agents earlier than 1 hour after the end of the ERBITUX infusion mcrc: ERBITUX should be continued until progression of the underlying disease. SCCHN locally advanced disease: Start ERBITUX therapy one week before radiation therapy and continue until the end of the radiation period. SCCHN recurrent and/or metastatic disease: Administer ERBITUX in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy followed by ERBITUX as maintenance therapy until disease progression. Special Populations: No dose adjustment required in the elderly (experience limited in patients older than 75 years). Safety and efficacy in children not established. Only patients with adequate renal, hepatic and hematological parameters have been investigated. Contraindications: Known severe hypersensitivity (grade 3 or 4) reactions to ERBITUX. Contraindications for concomitantly used chemotherapeutic agents or radiation therapy must be considered. Special warnings and precautions: Infusion-related reactions: Severe infusion-related reactions to ERBITUX have been reported. They occur usually during the first infusion and up to 1 hour after the end of infusion, but may occur after several hours or with subsequent infusions. Occurrence of a severe infusion-related reaction requires immediate and permanent discontinuation of ERBITUX and may necessitate emergency treatment. Decrease infusion rate if mild or moderate infusion-related reaction occurs and use lower rate in all subsequent infusions. Closely monitor patients with reduced performance status and pre-existing cardio-pulmonary disease. Skin reactions: Interrupt treatment if patient experiences a severe skin reaction ( grade 3 NCI-CTC). Only resume if reaction resolves to grade 2. With second or third occurrence of severe skin reactions, resume at lower dose (200 mg/m 2 after second occurrence, 150 mg/m 2 after third occurence) only if reaction resolves to grade 2. A fourth occurrence of severe skin reaction, or failure to resolve to grade 2 during interruption, requires permanent discontinuation of ERBITUX. Respiratory disorders: Individual cases of interstitial lung disorders of unknown causal relationship to ERBITUX have been reported. If interstitial lung disease is diagnosed, ERBITUX must be discontinued and patient be treated appropriately. Electrolyte disturbances: Severe hypomagnesaemia has been observed. Hypomagnesaemia is reversible following discontinuation of ERBITUX. Hypokalaemia as a consequence of diarrhea may develop. Hypocalcaemia may also occur; in particular in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy the frequency of severe hypocalcaemia may be increased. Determination of serum electrolyte levels is recommended prior to and periodically during ERBITUX treatment. Electrolyte repletion is recommended, as appropriate. Neutropenia and related infectious complications: Patients who receive ERBITUX in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy are at an increased risk for the occurrence of severe neutropenia, which may lead to subsequent infectious complications such as febrile neutropenia, pneumonia or sepsis. Careful monitoring is recommended in such patients, in particular in those who experience skin lesions, mucositis or diarrhoea that may facilitate the occurrence of infections. Pregnancy and lactation: Only use during pregnancy or as woman not employing adequate contraception if the potential benefit justifies potential risk to fetus. Breast-feeding during treatment with ERBITUX and for 2 months after the last dose is not recommended. Undesirable effects: Very common ( 1/10): skin reactions (mainly as acne-like rash and/or pruritus, dry skin, desquamation, hypertrichosis, or nail disorders, single cases of skin necrosis), hypomagnesaemia, mild or moderate infusionrelated reactions (such as fever, chills, dizziness, or dyspnoea), mild to moderate mucositis, which may lead to epistaxis, increase in liver enzyme levels. Common ( 1/100, <1/10): headache, conjunctivitis, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, dehydration, hypocalcaemia, anorexia, weight decrease, severe infusion-related reactions, in rare cases with fatal outcome, some may be anaphylactoid/anaphylactic in nature (including bronchospasm, urticaria, hypotension, loss of consciousness, or shock); in rare cases, angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, or cardiac arrest. Uncommon ( 1/1000, <1/100): blepharitis, keratitis, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism. Frequency not known: superinfection of skin lesions with subsequent complications (e.g. cellulitis, erysipelas, staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome, or sepsis). In combination with local radiation therapy of the head and neck area, additional undesirable effects were those typical of radiation therapy (such as mucositis, radiation dermatitis, dysphagia or leucopenia, mainly as lymphocytopenia). Reporting rates of severe acute radiation dermatitis, mucositis, late radiation-therapy related events were slightly higher in combination with cetuximab. Interactions: In combination with infusional 5-fluorouracil, frequency of cardiac ischaemia including myocardial infarction and congestive heart failure as well as the frequency of hand-foot syndrome were increased. In combination with platinum-based chemotherapy, the frequency of severe leukopenia or severe neutropenia may be increased, and thus may lead to a higher rate of infectious complications such as febrile neutropenia, pneumonia and sepsis compared to platinum-based chemotherapy alone.
