Track 5: Gastrointestinal Cancer 16th World Gastroenterology, IBD, Hepatology Conference and Exhibition October 12–14, 2026 | Dubai, UAE & Online

Introduction

Gastrointestinal (GI) cancers represent a significant global health challenge, accounting for a large proportion of cancer-related morbidity and mortality worldwide. Advances in early detection, precision medicine, and multidisciplinary care are rapidly transforming outcomes for patients. Track 5: Gastrointestinal Cancer at the 16th World Gastroenterology, IBD, Hepatology Conference and Exhibition provides a dedicated platform for clinicians, researchers, and healthcare professionals to explore the latest innovations, clinical practices, and research developments in GI oncology.

What Is Gastroenterology?

Gastroenterology is the medical specialty focused on the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases affecting the digestive system. This includes the esophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, pancreas, gallbladder, and biliary tract. Gastroenterologists play a crucial role in identifying precancerous conditions, performing advanced endoscopic procedures, and collaborating with oncologists for comprehensive cancer care.

Body Parts Affected by Gastrointestinal Cancer

Gastrointestinal cancers can develop in multiple organs within the digestive tract, including:

·         Esophagus

·         Stomach

·         Small intestine

·         Colon and rectum

·         Liver

·         Pancreas

·         Gallbladder and bile ducts

Each site presents unique clinical features, risk factors, and treatment challenges, emphasizing the need for specialized expertise.

Problem: The Growing Burden of GI Cancers

The incidence of gastrointestinal cancers is increasing globally due to factors such as aging populations, unhealthy diets, obesity, alcohol consumption, smoking, chronic infections, and genetic predisposition. Late-stage diagnosis remains a major concern, often resulting from subtle early symptoms and limited access to screening programs in many regions. These challenges highlight the urgent need for improved awareness, early detection, and equitable healthcare solutions.

Solution: Advancing Early Detection and Treatment

Modern gastroenterology has introduced powerful tools to combat GI cancers, including:

·         Advanced endoscopic imaging and minimally invasive diagnostics

·         Molecular and genetic testing for personalized treatment

·         Targeted therapies and immunotherapy

·         Multidisciplinary treatment approaches involving gastroenterologists, oncologists, surgeons, and radiologists

Conference discussions will focus on integrating these innovations into routine clinical practice to improve survival rates and quality of life.

Types of Gastrointestinal Cancers

Common types of GI cancers include:

·         Colorectal cancer

·         Gastric (stomach) cancer

·         Esophageal cancer

·         Pancreatic cancer

·         Hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer)

·         Cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer)

Understanding the biological behavior and risk factors of each type is essential for effective prevention and management.

Effects on Patients and Healthcare Systems

Gastrointestinal cancers significantly impact patients physically, emotionally, and socially. Symptoms such as pain, weight loss, digestive disturbances, and fatigue affect daily life, while treatment-related side effects can be challenging. Additionally, GI cancers place a substantial burden on healthcare systems due to long-term treatment costs, hospitalizations, and the need for specialized care.

Conclusion

Track 5: Gastrointestinal Cancer at the 16th World Gastroenterology, IBD, Hepatology Conference and Exhibition serves as a vital forum for advancing knowledge, sharing best practices, and fostering collaboration in GI oncology. By emphasizing early detection, innovative therapies, and patient-centered care, this track aims to shape the future of gastrointestinal cancer management and improve outcomes worldwide.
