Over the past decade, there have been remarkable advances in understanding hepato-biliary and gastrointestinal cancers, accompanied by significant improvements in endoscopic techniques and devices. This educational activity will feature state-of-the-art didactic lectures, expert panel discussions, live endoscopy demonstrations with interactive Q&A sessions, and hands-on learning. Participants will gain updated knowledge on the diagnosis and management of gastrointestinal and pancreaticobiliary cancers and explore innovative endoscopic procedures and technologies within a multidisciplinary framework. During this international symposium, leaders from around the world will present research findings, share clinical experiences, and discuss evidence-based recommendations regarding the management of pancreato-biliary and gastrointestinal cancers.

Educational Objectives

At the conclusion of this educational activity, participants should be able to:

  • Understand endoscopic diagnosis and management of luminal gastrointestinal premalignant conditions and cancers.
  • Learn how to safely resect luminal gastrointestinal cancers.
  • Identify the ideal endoscopic methods for palliation of gastrointestinal cancers.
  • Discuss novel endoscopic technologies and techniques to address pancreatobiliary cancers within a multidisciplinary framework.

Target Audience

This symposium should be of value to gastroenterologists, medical oncologists, surgeons, interventional radiologists, internists, nurses, APPs, and endoscopy technicians.
