We can encounter brand-new topics in various fields. Basically, IASGO is unique international society including all medical doctors associated with gastroenterology. Surgeon, gastroenterologists and oncologists were working together to make amazing conference. We can share the knowledge, techniques and strategies over our specialties through the hot discussion. For our further development, internationalization is very important, but is not enough in Japanese situation. We are providing international conference to touch the international atmosphere and train our ability of discussion in English.
