ESDE.

The European Society for Esophageal Disease (ESDE) is an international, multidisciplinary society devoted to the study and treatment of benign and malignant esophageal diseases.

The aims of the ESDE are:

• To contribute to the knowledge of esophageal pathophysiology in its largest sense, to the optimal diagnosis
  and treatment of esophageal disorders and to the establishment of scientific connections between experts in this field;

• To promote the exchange of scientific and medical knowledge of the esophagus among specialists in the field including gastroenterologists, gastrointestinal and oncological surgeons, paediatric surgeons, medical oncologists, radiotherapists, radiologists, pathologists, ENT specialists, basic scientists, specialist care nurses, dieticians and other professionals.

The congress will be focusing on new technologies in the treatment of benign and malignant esophageal diseases such as robotic techniques, image guided surgery and the use of ICG, new endoscopic techniques and the development of AI in improving diagnostics (radiology, pathology) and outcomes of treatment. Furthermore the congress will focus on new therapies in the neoadjuvant and adjuvant setting of esophageal carcinoma.

The ESDE is the premier multi-disciplinary European organisation covering all aspects of esophageal diseases and disorders. Its annual meetings aim to gather all specialties involved in the clinical management and research of esophageal diseases. The recent, rapid developments in molecular biology, diagnosis, staging and treatments for esophagealboth benign and malignant diseases require continuous education.

Besides offering an exquisite opportunity to connect with your peers all interested in the domain, the target of this ESDE Annual Meeting is to highlight and spotlight the never ending quest for new insights in the field of esophagology.
