The World Congress on Gastrointestinal Cancer serves as the premier forum where specialists in cancer research, leading oncologists, and practicing clinicians review the state of the art and share the newest information on the management of gastrointestinal cancer. Since 1999, this clinically-focused Congress has attracted thousands of oncologists, surgeons, radiation oncologists, gastroenterologists and pathologists, who benefit from overview lectures by widely recognized experts, complemented with presentations of selected "hot news" items, meet the professor sessions, and satellite symposia on specific topics. A multidisciplinary approach was always stressed in the clinical approach of patients with gastrointestinal cancer.

As evidence of the stature of The World Congress on Gastrointestinal Cancer as the most important international meeting on gastrointestinal cancer, we are very pleased to advertise that the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) has announced their partnership with this congress. ESMO is Europe's leading professional society providing education and clinical guidelines for medical oncologists and other healthcare professionals, working to ensure optimal care for cancer patients. In a statement issued in December of 2004, ESMO president Paris Kosmidis, MD, said, "The endorsement of the World Congress on Gastrointestinal Cancer fits into the ongoing mission of ESMO to provide medical oncologists around the world with the information, knowledge, and experience that are the backbones of excellence in clinical practice. The World Congress is leading the way in offering clinically significant information to its growing number of attendees each year. We believe that this Congress plays a significant role in educating and updating medical oncologists working in the field of gastrointestinal cancers and through this collaboration, we can bring a high quality educational experience to a growing network of practicing physicians." We are very pleased with this collaboration and what it means for the future success of the Congress.
