XVIII. Petřivalský – Rapant Day
- 1st Clinic of Surgery University Hospital and Medical Faculty, Palacký University Olomouc
At present surgery in comparison with other medical fields does not fulfil our ambitions and we are not happy with this state.
Surgery is not developing as fast as oncology, haematology, immunology and other branches, which are based on rapidly
developing molecular biology. Surgeons are aware of this situation and they do not want to lose. We want to play a part in
this new development without losing our position and distinctive surgical goals. To seek these new ways is a goal of the
Petřivalský – Rapant Day and we are proud that in our country we are one of the first who want to make this historical
change. Therefore in this conference we include topics that should increase our knowledge of malignancies and influence
their therapy according to the newest molecular-biological findings.

PREFACE
At present surgery in comparison with other medical fields does not fulfil our ambitions and we are not happy with this state. Surgery is not developing as fast as oncology, haematology, immunology and other branches, which are based on rapidly developing molecular biology. Surgeons are aware of this situation and they do not want to lose. We want to play a part in this new development without losing our position and distinctive surgical goals. To seek these new ways is a goal of the Petřivalský – Rapant Day and we are proud that in our country we are one of the first who want to make this historical change. Therefore in this conference we include topics that should increase our knowledge of malignancies and influence their therapy according to the newest molecular-biological findings.
Prof. MUDr. Vladimír Král, CSc.
