ESMO Conference on Sarcoma and GIST

Following on from three successful editions, the fourth ESMO Conference on Sarcoma and GIST will provide a wide-ranging overview of current medical therapy of soft tissue sarcomas and GIST.

The goal is to provide a comprehensive overview of current medical therapy of soft tissue sarcomas and
GIST, with a focus on both multidisciplinary clinical approach and molecular and pathological bases of these diseases.

With this goal, lectures on molecular biology and those on treatment will be grouped together in the same sessions. These will be based on the various anatomical regions from which sarcomas can arise throughout the body, thus going from the classical limb locations to retroperitoneum, from visceral (including GIST) to gynaecological, thoracic, head & neck primary sites.
The approach to metastatic disease will be dealt with separately, as long as it is not covered in other sessions.

The audience will take home an updated overview of where we are with soft tissue sarcomas and GIST
and where we are going, thanks to a top-level faculty including the major clinical and translational experts
from the worldwide sarcoma community.
