Course Directors: Steven R. Alberts, M.D. and Tanios S. Bekaii-Saab, M.D.

The primary goal of this course is to guide practicing physicians on integrating the best and most current evidence into their day-to-day routine care for patients with GI cancers. This course will also bring a practical perspective on how to optimize multidisciplinary care for some of the more complex clinical management decisions. Topics discussed will include: locoregional modalities, the role of minimally invasive procedures and state-of-the-art radiation modalities.
