As FIGO Past Vice President and as President of the ISMIVS, it is my pleasure to invite you to the Yangtze International Summit of Minimally Invasive and Noninvasive Medicine that will be held in Chongqing from the 20th of June to the 22nd of June 2025.

As you may remember the last meeting organized in July of 2023 was a huge success. The main theme of the next summit will be "The future of minimally invasive and noninvasive medicine" with what will undoubtedly be a very interesting keynote lecture by Prof. Wang along with several sessions dedicated to Artificial Intelligence and HIFU.

The Haifu Focused Ultrasound Tumor Therapeutic System is now available to patients in over 32 countries and regions across the globe, and has been used for the treatment of more than 280,000 patients with various benign and malignant tumors as well as over 1,000,000 patients with non-tumor diseases.

I believe that the promotion of minimally invasive and non-invasive technology for the preservation of organ integrity and function is paramount.

In this spirit, I welcome you to this event aimed at uplifting the wellbeing of patients suffering from benign diseases and cancers. May this be a time of learning and growth for us all.

Please forward this message to all physicians involved in the field of minimal invasive and non invasive medicine. The ISMINIM leadership team and myself look forward to welcoming you to Chongqing.
