Explore Latest Science at GI and GU Cancer Symposia
Join ASCO and its co-sponsoring societies at the 2010 Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium and the 2010 Genitourinary Cancers Symposium. Registration for both events is now open.
2010 Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium
January 22-24, 2010
World Center Marriott
Orlando, Florida
For the seventh year, experts in the field of gastrointestinal (GI ) malignancies will convene to discuss the latest research on cancers of the GI tract. The three-day symposium will explore cutting-edge science, educational forums, and discussions on each type of GI cancer, including:
- Cancers of the esophagus and stomach
- Cancers of the pancreas, small bowel, and hepatobiliary tract
- Cancers of the colon and rectum
The content offered in general sessions will be augmented by oral and poster presentations throughout the symposium.
New this year, the symposium will feature a tumor board session on metastatic endocrine tumors to the liver.
Attendees also can attend several ticketed sessions throughout the symposium, including Meet the Professor sessions and Translational Research Topic Forums. Fellows, residents, and junior faculty can interact with faculty and committee members at the Fellows Luncheon.
ASCO, the American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) Institute, the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO), and the Society of Surgical Oncology (SSO) are proud to again offer a forum for cutting-edge research on GI cancers.

2010 Genitourinary Cancers Symposium
March 5-7, 2010
San Francisco Marriott

At the 2010 Genitourinary Cancers Symposium, attendees will learn about recent advances in the multidisciplinary management of genitourinary tract malignancies, including:
- Prostate cancer
- Cancers of the urothelium
- Renal cell cancer
- Rare tumors of the GU tract
The three-day event will provide educational sessions and oral abstract and poster presentations discussing the state of progress against these diseases and highlighting developments in prevention, screening, and diagnosis; multidisciplinary treatment; and translational research.
Several sessions at the symposium offer attendees interaction with colleagues and explore the science.
- The Best of Journals sessions offer a dynamic review of published science on prostate and renal cancers (ticketed session).
- The Tumor Board Discussion on Rare Tumors of the GU Tract allows attendees to discuss the many aspects of these diseases.
- Poster walks give fellows and junior faculty a chance to take part in discussions of GU cancer research with faculty and presenters.
The 2010 Genitourinary Cancers Symposium is sponsored by ASCO, ASTRO, and the Society of Urologic Oncology (SUO). For more information visit www.gucasymposium.org. |
