4th Annual School of Gastrointestinal Oncology (SOGO) is organized by Physicians Education Resource, LLC (PER) and will be held on Apr 27, 2019 at Grand Hyatt Washington, Washington, Dist of Col, United States of America. The target audience for this medical event is oncologists and gastroenterologists whose primary practice focus is GI cancers, and who intend to reinforce their knowledge base and expand their expertise in GI diagnosis, risk stratification, personalization of care, and best practices for multidisciplinary communication. Participants will be primarily oncologists, gastroenterologists, or fellows in training whose practice requires mastery and a critical understanding of the fundamental principles, pivotal published studies, and emerging information on the pathogenesis and management of GI cancers. Conference Description : GI cancers are some of the most complex solid tumors to treat because of their heterogeneity. Optimized management requires a high level of multidisciplinary cooperation. The rapid pace of emerging developments creates knowledge and competence gaps for you and your colleagues who treat, manage, and care for patients with GI cancers. The evolution of treating patients who have gastrointestinal (GI) cancers has really transformed over the past few years and will continue to do so moving forward. We know that personalizing disease in these tumors has to be done, and we need to involve the entire clinical team to do so. The expanded role of immune therapies, the importance of multidisciplinary care, and the role of precision medicine has further complicated the pathways of care. With all the advances that have been made in both treatment and care management, we have turned GI cancer into a chess game, and we need to make sure all the players and pieces are working together. This meeting will continue to education the treatment team through multiple presentations and small group discussions and will truly be the most unique GI cancers meeting around.
