Upcoming 2024 Gastric Cancer Summit
2024 Gastric Cancer Summit
Gastric cancer is the third leading cause of cancer death worldwide and is diagnosed in 27,000 Americans each year. In the United States, this burden falls disproportionately on ethnic minorities and immigrant communities, especially Asians. There exists no coherent national strategy for the early detection or risk attenuation of gastric cancer, even among identified high-risk groups. The under-recognition of gastric cancer risk among minority communities is the most significantly unaddressed healthcare disparity issue in the United States. This summit aims to foster a global dialogue on reducing morbidity and mortality from gastric cancer, especially among vulnerable populations.
Join us for the 2024 Gastric Cancer Summit, taking place at Stanford University and virtually on November 7-8, 2024. This in-person summit will gather physicians, researchers, policy makers, patients, and advocacy groups from around the world to address the pressing issue of gastric cancer.
Hosted by the Stanford Center for Asian Health Research and Education (CARE), this multidisciplinary event will build upon the foundation laid in previous summits, working towards tangible solutions and a roadmap for addressing healthcare disparities in gastric cancer.
Together, we can improve early detection, prevention and healthcare outcomes for all affected by gastric cancer. Please register for this vital Summit on November 7-8 at Stanford University. Registration is complementary.
