It is with great pleasure that we invite you to participate in the 8th World Congress on Gastrointestinal Cancer to be held 28 June to 1 July 2006 at the Centre de Convencions Internacional de Barcelona (CCIB) in Barcelona, Spain.

The World Congress on Gastrointestinal Cancer serves as a forum at which leading oncologists, practicing clinicians and specialists in cancer research review the state of the art and share the newest information on the management of gastrointestinal cancer. The Congress is built around a multi-disciplinary approach provided in overview lectures by widely recognized experts, complemented with presentations of selected “hot news” items, meet the professor sessions, case discussions and satellite symposia on specific topics.

Since its inception in 1999, the Congress has strived to increase its educational quality and scope for attendees. In 2004, the Congress was widened from an exclusively colorectal cancer meeting to an event that encompasses malignancies affecting every component of the gastrointestinal tract and aspects related to the care of all gastrointestinal cancer patients, including screening, diagnosis, and the latest management options (prevention, treatment, and supportive care) for common and uncommon tumors. At the end of 2004, an agreement was reached between the organizers and the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) to collaborate on the development of the Congress, further increasing the educational value of this event and increasing exposure to a wider audience. In 2005, the Congress was host to more than 2600 attendees from around the world and was also recorded for post-Congress webcasting here. The 2006 Congress promises to continue the tradition of excellence and stimulate the interest of its participants. Additions include a program for Young Specialists and the publication of the 2006 accepted abstracts in a special supplement of Annals of Oncology.

Join us and your colleagues in Barcelona, 28 June to 1 July 2006 for the 8th World Congress on Gastrointestinal Cancer. We are sure you will appreciate the scientific presentations, the opportunity to exchange ideas with world renowned opinion leaders as well as enjoy the multicultural heritage of the city.

We look forward to seeing you there.
