 + Panel

 

This session is a much awaited extension of the wealth of information gathered at the 2013 Congress of OESO in Paris, under the theme of cancers of the esophagus.

The objective of the two hours is to present a translational view of the potentials existing today in the realms of epidemiology, genetics, epigenetics, and new investigations, in light of the technological advancements of recent decades now made available to clinicians and researchers.

OESO, in essence, a multi-disciplinary body, brings together renowned specialists from all horizons.

Each speaker will offer a part of his/her competence to contribute to making the session an optimistic opening onto the future.
