An important CBR initiative, the "Visiting Professor CBR" Program, launched in September 2018 during the celebrations of the entity's 70th anniversary, had its first edition last Friday (15th), in the city of Recife. The objective of the program is to promote the exchange of knowledge and experiences from the visit of a professor to educational activities in residency and improvement programs throughout Brazil. Prof. Dr. Manoel Rocha, from the Department of Radiology and Oncology at the Faculty of Medicine of USP, visited the Hospital da Restauração, in the capital of Pernambuco. With theoretical classes and case discussions, its program addressed topics such as pancreatic adenocarcinoma, pancreatic cystic lesions, cystic lesions of the biliary tract and criteria for resectability of cholangiocarcinomas. On Friday (22), Prof. Dr. Manoel Rocha will be in Maceió (AL), at Arthur Ramos Hospital, for another visit through the "Visiting Professor CBR" program.
