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 meeting is supported by an unrestricted educational grant from Bayer Healthcare
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.

This meeting is supported by an unrestricted educational grant from Bayer Healthcare
Agenda
Objectives:
l Review the role of CRC registries and their impact on the understanding of the
management of patients with CRC
l Evaluate the issues and challenges of PROs, in particular how they can be standardized
and their use in improving patient management
l Discuss the importance of quality of life to patients and its impact on treatment decisions
l Facilitate peer discussion between industry, investigators and cooperative groups
