About the Symposium

Dear Friend,

On behalf of the Spanish Cooperative Group for the Treatment of Digestive Tumors (TTD Group), and the Scientific and Organising Committee, we invite you to the XXXIII International Symposium “Advances in the Treatment of Digestive Tumours” to be held in Oviedo, on 10, 11 and 12 December.

The Scientific Committee, composed of representatives from Asturias, Cantabria, Madrid and Catalonia, has designed a programme that addresses the latest advances in the study and treatment of digestive tumours from a multidisciplinary, clinical and research perspective. As in previous editions, we will have the participation of renowned speakers and some new features in the event’s usual structure. During the first day, sessions will focus on gastroesophageal tumors, biliary tract and hepatocellular carcinoma, and pancreatic tumours. As a novelty, a dedicated session will address rare tumours, including anal and intestinal cancer, and peritoneal carcinomatosis. The second day will be dedicated to colorectal cancer, through various thematic sessions.

To make the format more dynamic, there will be a session simulating decision-making in a tumour committee based on several clinical cases, allowing active audience participation before and after the discussion. In addition, sessions with a Q&A format will be held, where speakers will answer pre-formulated questions. Parallel to this, a medical oncologist with an extraordinary track record will share his experience in turning ideas into projects that bring tangible results for patients. Furthermore, the participation of residents will be encouraged through the 13th edition of the Clinical Case Competition.

The TTD Group and the members of the Organizing Committee have put all our efforts into designing a program of high scientific value. It will be a great pleasure for us to count on your presence and to be able to welcome you personally in Oviedo.

Organizing Committee Coordinator. Oviedo

City of Oviedo Exhibition and Conference Center

Oviedo has had an Exhibition and Congress Centre (PEC) since 2011. It was built in Buenavista based on a project by the architect Santiago Calatrava, Prince of Asturias Prize for the Arts 1999. The Conference Centre has been run by the municipality since 2014. It is a spectacular 15,640 square metre white building made of concrete, steel and glass in the shape of a shell, with the characteristic giant ribs that are typical of this architect and that can be accessed via a glazed surface.

Inside, the lobby provides 2,750 square metres of open plan space and tall ceilings to install stands. The floor features embedded electrical panels every two metres. It is also suitable for catering services, for which the Centre has a support kitchen.
