Dear
Colleague,
It is with
great pleasure that we invite you to participate in the 2004 World
Congress on Gastrointestinal Cancer in Barcelona, 16-19 June 2004.
The World Congress
on Gastrointestinal Cancer is the natural successor to the tremendously
successful series “Perspectives in Colorectal Cancer”
(PICC) conferences, which we initiated six years ago.
Like PICC, the
“World Congress on Gastrointestinal Cancer” will serve
as a forum where specialists in cancer research, leading oncologists,
and practicing clinicians will review the state of the art and share
the newest information on the management of gastrointestinal cancer.
As was the case for PICC, the congress will be built around overview
lectures by widely recognized experts, complemented with presentations
of selected “hot news” items, meet the professor sessions,
and satellite symposia on specific topics.
The decision
to expand the content of the congress beyond colorectal cancer was
dictated by the recent progress in the management of other gastrointestinal
cancers and the absence of an adequate forum for discussion of these
results. To adequately cover all aspects of gastrointestinal cancers,
we have expanded the scientific committee with experts from around
the world and have renamed the congress to better reflect its truly
international scope.
Please join
us and your colleagues in Barcelona, 16-19 June 2004 for the “World
Congress on Gastrointestinal Cancer”. We know for certain
that you will appreciate the scientific presentations and the opportunity
to exchange ideas with world renowned opinion leaders, as well as
the opportunity to enjoy the multicultural heritage of the city
and delight in the culinary highlights of its chefs.
We look forward to seeing you there.
