It is my great honour to announce that IASGO-CME 2025 will be held at Hokkaido University Faculty of Medicine on February 27, 2026.
This event will feature educational lectures by leading experts in gastrointestinal cancer from around the world. It is a rare and valuable opportunity to hear directly from global authorities about the latest advances in the field of gastroenterology.
Additionally, we are offering a special session designed for young presenters who are not accustomed to giving presentations in English. This must be an excellent opportunity to gain experience presenting on an international stage and take the first step toward connecting with the world. As the saying goes, 'practice makes perfect.' We hope that many young doctors will participate.
Sapporo, the host city, will welcome you with its beautiful winter scenery and warm hospitality.
I hope you will fully enjoy both the academic exchange and the unique charms of Hokkaido’s winter.
We look forward to welcoming many participants.
President Satoshi Hirano, Professor and Chairman of Hokkaido University Hospital,
Department of Gastroenterological Surgery II
