Two millennia later, the modern clinical medicine seems to agree completely with this Hippocratic dictum, that now has been worded again with the new concept and terminology as "Medicine Based on Evidence-Evidence" (Evidence Based Medicine). Doctor Athanasios Kleontas is updated daily for evolutions in surgical diseases of the chest, especially by monitoring continuously:
- International guidelines
- NCCN (National Comprehensive Cancer Network)
- NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Ecxellence)
- ESTS (European Society of Thoracic Surgeons)
- EACTS (European Association for CardioThoracic Surgery)
- ATS (American Thoracic Society)
- ACCP (American College of Chest Physicians)
- ESMO (European Society for Medical Oncology)
- ASCO (American Society of Clinical Oncology)
- BTS (British Thoracic Society)
- ERS (European Respiratory Society)
- Modern literature sources
- national and international scientific events
- specialized seminars (courses)
and he embodies all these in his everyday clinical practice.
