This annual educational symposium is proud to update our medical community on the state-of-the-art care of gastrointestinal and soft tissue neoplasms, while focusing on the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to the diagnosis and treatment of these rare and complicated disease entities, including gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumors and soft tissue sarcomas. National and international renowned guest speakers and distinguished faculty, including those from MedStar Health and MedStar Georgetown Cancer Institute will discuss the significant roles of evolving new diagnostic modalities, immune and molecular targeted therapies, the use of organ-sparing surgery, and the use of state-of-the art radiotherapeutics in these rare and complex cancers.
