About the event
The SGCC is a national translational research group of clinicians and scientists from universities, research institutes and hospitals across Singapore working in gastric cancer research, with the aim of improving the outcomes of this disease by early detection, improving treatment and advancing biological understanding of gastric carcinogenesis.
This year's scientific programme covers the latest advancements in gastric cancer, which include areas in:
- Phenotypic Strategies to Improve Gastric Cancer Outcomes
- Precision Therapy in Gastric Cancer
- Clinical Trials Update
- Peritoneal Carcinomatosis
- Pre-malignant Lesions / Early Detection
- Stem Cells and Cancer in Stomach
- Genetics and Epigenetics of GI Malignancies
This conference will bring together world-renowned researchers and clinicians to discuss the latest developments in gastroenterological treatment and research, and provide a platform for scientists, surgeons, oncologists, gastroenterologists and primary healthcare physicians in related fields to share their experiences and form exciting new collaborations.
