GI Cancer Symposium 2022

The Society of Uganda Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons (SUGES) is a nonprofit entity established to improve access to high quality, safe and affordable gastrointestinal and endoscopic surgery in Uganda through clinical care, training, research and advocacy. As part of our mandate we shall be holding a Gastritis (Peptic Ulcer Disease) and Gastric Cancer Workshop on Friday 28th April 2022 at Hilton Garden Inn in Kampala. Gastric cancer can develop from poorly managed gastritis, chronic Helicobacter Pylori infection as well as other preventable causes like alcohol intake, obesity and smoking. Recent studies show an increasing diagnosis of gastric cancer. This workshop is therefore timely to address updates in surgical management of gastric cancer.
