In 2012, we identified a need for a scientific meeting uniting key players in cholangiocarcinoma research. In order to best foster collaboration and informal discussion, however, we wanted a format that was different that that of the typical scientific meeting. This approach led us to the TargetCancer Foundation Think Tank on Cholangiocarcinoma– a unique meeting that united not only cholangiocarcinoma experts, but also leaders from other rare cancers who shared their experiences of successfully bringing those cancers out of orphan status.
On October 19, 2015, we’re proud to bring this idea to a new area- esophageal cancer- with the Think Tank on Advancing Esophageal Cancer Research. This innovative one day meeting unites top esophageal cancer researchers and clinicians in a format designed to facilitate information sharing, brainstorming, and most importantly, collaboration. We’re excited to unite this international group of experts and catalyze projects that will move the field forward.
