Abstract
The European Group on Graves’ Orbitopathy (EUGOGO) organized a highly successful international 20th anniversary meeting on November 7–9, 2019, in the beautiful city of Pisa, Italy. More than 200 experts and key opinion leaders in the field of Graves’ orbitopathy (GO) or thyroid eye disease and thyroid autoimmunity gathered in Tuscany to discuss the latest findings in experimental research, animal models, pathogenesis, genetics, and immunology of this complex orbital disease. Further, developments of diagnostic procedures, for example, imaging and serology, as well as surgical approaches were extensively presented. Basic scientists, immunologists, endocrinologists, thyroidologists, specialists in nuclear medicine, ophthalmologists, and orbital and ENT surgeons actively participated. The scientific program was an elegant mixture of reviews and updates delivered by acknowledged international experts and sessions focused on recent advances in GO. These oral sessions offered young investigators the opportunity to present their novel data to the plenary audience as no parallel activities were foreseen. The only exception was an excellently organized, well-attended lively session for patients with GO (mostly from Italy), which took place on Saturday morning, November 9, 2020, and which was moderated by the local organizers and other Italian colleagues.
