Dr Wouter Froyman is a doctoral researcher in the International Ovarian Tumor Analysis (IOTA) group. The subject of his current thesis is the development and validation of diagnostic methods (i.e. in imaging, ultrasound in particular) for the management of patients with adnexal masses, with a focus on the investigation of the long-term behaviour of adnexal lesions followed conservatively (IOTA phase 5). He is also coordinating the ongoing studies IOTA phase 7 and IOTA-MRI.
An invited speaker at over 25 national and international conferences and trainings, Dr Froyman received the Dame Hilda Lloyd Congress Medal for best abstract at RCOG 2016 in Birmingham, and in 2017, he received the best abstract award at the ISUOG World Congress.
Dr Froyman will be presenting in the gynaecology sessions Managing ovarian masses: how to classify them using IOTA terminology and From ovaries to endometrium: how do we differentiate benign from malignant? on days 1 and 2 of the Congress:
-
What are IOTA easy descriptors and simple rules: How to use them
-
Balancing risks of surgery with risks of conservative management of benign adnexal masses
-
Solid ovarian masses: Lessons and pitfalls
-
Reporting the endometrium and intracavitary lesions using IETA terminology
