Dear Colleagues,
It is my distinct honor, as President of the Organizing Committee, to invite you to the International Gastric Cancer Congress 2027, which will take place in Santiago, Chile, from 14 to 17 April 2027. Guided by the theme “Gastric Cancer in the Real World,” the congress will unite surgeons, oncologists, pathologists, gastroenterologists, radiologists, basic scientists, nurses, nutritionists, pharmacists, genetic counselors, epidemiologists, public‑health specialists, allied‑health professionals, patient advocates, and many other dedicated colleagues to share knowledge that truly reflects everyday clinical practice.
Our scientific program is being crafted to foster vigorous debate, highlight state‑of‑the‑art research, and present solutions adaptable to diverse healthcare settings. We warmly encourage you to participate—submit abstracts, propose symposia, and join the discussions and workshops that will shape future standards of care for gastric‑cancer patients worldwide.
Santiago offers a welcoming setting for this exchange. Chile’s capital is a modern, vibrant city framed by the snow‑capped Andes and fertile valleys—an excellent destination where the country’s celebrated diversity and natural beauty can be appreciated throughout your stay.
Your presence and contributions are essential to the success of IGCC 2027, and I look forward to greeting you personally in April. Together, let us advance our shared mission of improving outcomes for patients living with gastric cancer across the globe.
Warm regards,
Carlos García, MD
