ForwardSurgical Oncology Conference on Hepatobiliary Malignancy Conference
The goal of this educational activity is to enhance the knowledge, clinical decision-making, and interdisciplinary collaboration among surgeons, medical oncologists, gastroenterologists, radiation oncologists, and primary care providers in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of hepatobiliary diseases. Through evidence-based, case-driven discussions, participants will be better equipped to identify appropriate candidates for surgery, optimize timing and coordination of care, integrate emerging technologies and therapies, and deliver guideline-concordant treatment across all phases of care. The ultimate objective is to reduce practice variation, improve patient outcomes, and strengthen the continuum of care for individuals with liver, biliary, and pancreatic diseases.
