INVITATION
Research Workshop
in Digestive Oncology
Taking the next step:
Improving outcomes in patients
with metastatic colorectal cancer
Wednesday 29th June 2016 19:00 – 20:30
Room 115, Level 1, Centre de Convencions
Internacional de Barcelona
ESDO Satellite Symposium
For healthcare professionals only
On behalf of the faculty, we are delighted to invite you to attend the
Research Workshop in Digestive Oncology satellite symposium held in
conjunction with ESMO 18th World Congress on Gastrointestinal Cancer
This workshop will discuss several aspects on improving outcomes in patients with metastatic
colorectal cancer (CRC). It will focus on the role that CRC registries can have on determining
trends and patterns in treatment practices and the impact that measuring patient-reported
outcomes (PROs) can have on improving patient management and quality of life. Our expert
faculty will facilitate interactive discussions on the challenges associated with treating patients
with this complex disease.
We look forward to seeing you.
