Screening, Risk Stratification, and Solutions: Reducing GI and Liver Cancer in the Latino Community
Overview
12:00 PM
Join us for this upcoming event in our Gastro Bites series — virtual webinars with leading experts.
In honor of Hispanic Heritage month, this webinar will be co-hosted with Latinos in Gastroenterology and Hepatology (La LiGaH). The session will begin with a keynote presentation examining the current state of GI and liver malignancies in the Latino community, including the rising disease burden and critical unmet needs. Building on this foundation, a panel of three experts will discuss their work in Latino communities and explore key research and clinical care priorities for improving outcomes.
La LiGaH is an established AGA Member Network with a mission to promote health equity within Hispanic/Latino communities. Its objectives include advancing scientific research and supporting the professional development of Hispanic/Latino gastroenterologists, hepatologists, scientists, and all individuals committed to meeting the GI and hepatology needs of the Hispanic/Latino population.
