Track 9: Esophageal and Gastric Disease 16th World Gastroenterology, IBD, Hepatology Conference and Exhibition October 12–14, 2026 | Dubai, UAE & Online


Introduction

Esophageal and gastric diseases represent a significant portion of global digestive health disorders, affecting millions of people across all age groups. These conditions range from common acid-related disorders to complex inflammatory and malignant diseases. Track 9 of the 16th World Gastroenterology, IBD, Hepatology Conference and Exhibition focuses on advancing clinical understanding, early diagnosis, and innovative management strategies for diseases of the esophagus and stomach.

What Is Gastroenterology?

Gastroenterology is a medical specialty dedicated to the study, diagnosis, and treatment of disorders of the digestive system. This includes the esophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, pancreas, and biliary tract. Gastroenterologists play a vital role in managing both acute and chronic gastrointestinal conditions using endoscopic, medical, and preventive approaches.

Body Parts Involved

This track primarily focuses on:

·         Esophagus: The muscular tube that carries food and liquids from the mouth to the stomach.

·         Stomach: A vital digestive organ responsible for food breakdown, acid secretion, and absorption of nutrients.

Both organs work together to initiate digestion and protect the body from harmful pathogens.

Common Problems

Esophageal and gastric diseases can arise due to lifestyle factors, infections, immune dysfunction, or genetic predisposition. Common problems include:

·         Acid reflux and heartburn

·         Difficulty in swallowing (dysphagia)

·         Chronic indigestion and abdominal pain

·         Gastric ulcers and bleeding

·         Inflammation and malignancies

If left untreated, these conditions may lead to serious complications.

Solutions and Management

Effective management depends on early diagnosis and a multidisciplinary treatment approach. Solutions include:

·         Lifestyle and dietary modifications

·         Pharmacological therapies such as proton pump inhibitors and antibiotics

·         Endoscopic procedures for diagnosis and treatment

·         Surgical interventions in advanced or refractory cases

·         Preventive strategies and patient education

Recent advances in minimally invasive techniques and precision medicine have significantly improved patient outcomes.

Types of Esophageal and Gastric Diseases

·         Esophageal Diseases:

o    Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)

o    Esophagitis

o    Barrett’s esophagus

o    Esophageal strictures and cancer

·         Gastric Diseases:

o    Gastritis

o    Peptic ulcer disease

o    Helicobacter pylori infection

o    Gastric cancer and functional dyspepsia

Effects on Health

These diseases can have a profound impact on quality of life, leading to chronic pain, nutritional deficiencies, anemia, and increased cancer risk. Psychosocial stress and reduced productivity are also common consequences of long-standing gastrointestinal disorders.

Conclusion

Track 9: Esophageal and Gastric Disease highlights the importance of innovation, research, and global collaboration in improving digestive health. Through expert discussions, clinical case studies, and emerging research, this track aims to enhance understanding and advance patient-centered care for esophageal and gastric disorders.
