Highlights from the recently held symposium

Quality in Endoscopy:
Colonoscopy & colonic neoplasms symposium

May 4 – 5, 2012
Berlin, Germany

The positive feedback received from participants at the recently held second of the Quality in Endoscopy Symposia has been exceptional.

Attendees from 47 countries enjoyed lectures, debates and case presentations from senior experts and from the promising upcoming younger generation.

“We were eager to see whether the success of the first quality in endoscopy symposium, held last October, was a one-off achievement. This time, in Berlin, we were even more struck by the sense of “community spirit” that ensued, bridging the gap between all those who took part, whether expert, delegate or corporate partner” enthused Thierry Ponchon, Co-chair. “The avalanche of positive feedback certainly proves that this symposium concept is also meeting the demands of the younger generation“.

ESGE looks forward to holding the next Quality in Endoscopy symposium in Lisbon.

Quality in Endoscopy:
Upper GI & neoplasia

April 19 – 20, 2013
Lisbon, Portugal

In a cooperation with the European Society of Digestive Oncology (ESDO) Professor Horst Neuhaus and Professor Van Cutsem will co-chair the third ESGE Quality in Endoscopy symposium.

Leaders in this field alongside more junior colleagues will expound on state-of-the-art and future trends in upper GI endoscopy and the detection, staging and treatment of upper gastrointestinal neoplasia.
