Visit the Sixth World Rectal Conference on organ-preserving perspectives over 5-6 March 2020 at the Netherlands Cancer Institute Antoni van Leeuwenhoek, Amsterdam, The Netherlands PDF-version

 

This multidisciplinary conference aims to highlight all the different aspects of organ-preserving treatment in rectal cancer. As in previous gatherings, we aim to create an atmosphere of an informal conference, with the attendance of experts in the field from all over the world, and where discussion is most welcome. To promote this, there will be debates and interactive discussions. In addition, participants are encouraged to propose and discuss new trials at this conference. In the end, participants will go home with a thorough knowledge of the new ideas to preserve organs during treatment of rectal cancer. We hope to welcome you to Amsterdam in March 2020!
