11th TTD Group Clinical Case contest
The objectives of the 11th Clinical Case Competition of the TTD Group are to promote the dissemination of clinical experiences in the field of digestive tumours and to reward their originality and scientific quality.
The submission of a clinical case to the competition necessarily implies the participant’s full and unconditional acceptance of these rules.
Papers will be submitted electronically using the form provided on the TTD Group website (www.ttdgroup.org). The author will not be able to consider his/her case as accepted until he/she receives confirmation of receipt from the Technical Secretariat of the TTD Symposium.
The submission period for /clinical cases is between September 11 and October 31, both inclusive.
In order to maintain uniformity in the cases presented, an abstract should be submitted, which may be written indistinctly in Spanish or English and should have the following structure:
The abstract will have a maximum length of 600 words (excluding sections a, e, f and g).
The information must be presented in a clearly, orderly, and comprehensive, defining the abbreviations the first time they are used and expressing the results of the tests with their corresponding units of measurement.
In all cases, the evolution of the case should be reported, and efforts should be made to present resolved cases.
Any reference to personal identifying data of patients or their relatives (proper names, places of residence, etc.), data that allow the patient to be identified, as well as any information thereof that is not relevant to the case should be omitted.
Regarding treatments, the active substances should be indicated and not the trademarks. When a product is used for compassionate use, it should be clearly reflected in the text.
The Evaluation Committee will be constituted by the members of the Congress Committee of the TTD Group.
The evaluation of the Jury will be blind, and no member of the Jury can assess the case(s) of their own center.
The notification of the winning cases will be made by email to the first author. It will not be possible to award two or more prizes to the same institution in the same call.
Additionally, three prizes (Virtual Classroom registrations) may be awarded to the cases that receive the highest number of votes through popular voting by the congress attendees. These prizes cannot be accumulated with those granted by the Evaluation Committee, so that a case cannot receive both prizes.
The decision of the Jury will be final and cannot be appealed.
The Congress Committee will select three winners, who will receive the following prizes:
The awards ceremony will be held during the development of the XXXI Symposium of the TTD Group and the author of the first prize winning case will have 5 minutes for his presentation to the attendees.
With the approval of the Congress Committee, all cases will be presented in a poster display during the XXXI Symposium of the TTD Group that will take place in Córdoba on December 13-15, 2023. The notification of the cases for exhibition, along with instructions for poster elaboration, will be sent by email to the first author.
The TTD Group will publish a compilation book with ISBN that can be disseminated through its website. The presentation of the clinical case implies the that the rights of dissemination, reproduction and distribution in electronic format will be transferred to the TTD Group for an indefinite period of time and without territorial limits. The TTD Group may involve third parties in carrying out these actions. The authors implicitly authorize any formal modifications that may be necessary to adapt their manuscript to the needs of exploitation. Cases that, in the jury´s opinion, do not meet sufficient quality may be rejected.
The Organizing Committee of the Congress will award 5 scholarships of the registration fee to the Symposium for the residents participating in the contest. The selection will be made through a random draw among the first authors who have submitted clinical cases once the period of sending them has ended.
