Barcelona, Spain (PRWEB) May 25, 2016 -- ESMO 18th World Congress on Gastrointestinal Cancer, the premier 4-day global event highlighting the most relevant developments in gastrointestinal (GI) malignancies will be an unparalleled educational experience for the 3,500+ healthcare professionals attending. Organized by Imedex, a global leader in education, the event will take place on 29 June – 2 July in Barcelona, Spain.

We provide practicing oncologists, clinicians, and researchers with practice-changing knowledge that can be applied immediately. -Eric Van Cutsem, MD, PhD, Congress Chair

"Attendee interaction with industry-leaders, education, new data, and a focus on practical aspects such as translational data are what fuel this Congress's success," said Eric Van Cutsem, MD, PhD, Congress Chair. "We provide practicing oncologists, clinicians, and researchers with practice-changing knowledge that can be applied immediately."

As there are currently hundreds of ongoing phase III clinical trials, the field of GI malignancies is continuously evolving. The Scientific Committee has curated a phenomenal list of presenters and topics for this year's scientific agenda. Keynote lectures will address the ever-changing landscape with which healthcare professionals are faced.

“As a reflection of the superb quality rightly associated with ESMO´s premier World Congresses on Gastrointestinal Cancer, we can once again look forward to an exceptional duo of Keynotes. Adam J. Bass, MD will deliver genomic-driven insights into the complex biology of gastric cancer aimed at ultimately spurring the development of more powerful anti-cancer therapies, and Scott Kopetz, MD, PhD, FACP will further explore the role of BRAF in colon cancer biology with emphasis on potentiating current BRAF inhibitors through combinatorial strategies to overcome acquired resistance,” said Josep Tabernero, MD, PhD, Congress Vice Chair, ESMO President-elect.

Looking toward the future, Philippe Rouanet, MD’s keynote “Robotic Surgery: Is it Becoming a Reality in GI Cancer?” will showcase the technological future as it relates to this therapy area of oncology.

“We are excited to continue our relationship with ESMO and bring such a valuable annual experience to the global GI community” said Chris Bolwell, COO of Imedex. “This is the 18th year, and our longevity in the medical education field continues to strengthen the Congress.”

“ESMO World Congress on Gastrointestinal Cancer gives healthcare professionals and researchers tremendous updates and education from which to move forward in effectively treating patients with gastrointestinal cancers,” said Mario Dicato, MD, Congress Chair.

2016 marks the 18th annual Congress, and will be chaired by Mario Dicato, MD, Eric Van Cutsem, MD, PhD, and Josep Tabernero, MD, PhD. As in the past, the Congress will be certified and organized by Imedex, an industry leader in providing CME programs in live conference settings and online. Attendance is expected to push 3,500 this year, and will likely be the largest annual gathering thus far.
