Toufic Kachaamy: Now is the time for gastroenterologists in cancer care

Toufic Kachaamy posted the following on LinkedIn:

“Gastroenterologists, now is the time to get more involved in the evolving world of cancer care and endoscopic oncology. Here’s why:

1.This is a growing field where gastroenterologists are playing an increasingly significant role in patient care.

2.Innovations in cancer ablation are offering more treatment options than ever before, enabling us to make a difference in outcomes.

3.Cancer treatments, especially immunotherapies, often come with side effects that gastroenterologists can help diagnose and manage, enhancing patient care.

4.Being part of a multidisciplinary team opens new horizons and creates possibilities for learning and growth, while pushing boundaries in patient care.

5.Most importantly, there’s something deeply fulfilling about supporting patients through the toughest fight of their lives.

To learn more, mark your calendar for the 4th Annual Advances and Innovations in Endoscopic Oncology and Multidisciplinary GI Cancer Care in Las Vegas on April 5-6, 2025.

Let’s push the field forward together!”
