ESMO Gastrointestinal Cancers Congress 2024S’ouvre dans une nouvelle fenêtre

Brought to you by the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO), the congress will be the place to present impactful new data in GI oncology. The scientific sessions will be complemented with high quality educational sessions and excellent networking opportunities.

In recent years we have seen remarkable progress in the treatment options available for patients with GI cancers and ESMO is committed to ensuring that there is a clear roadmap to help facilitate the implementation of new practice changing discoveries in the clinic for the benefit of all patients with GI cancers and whose wellbeing is our primary concern.

The ESMO Gastrointestinal Cancers Congress will provide global visibility for original clinical and translational research.
