Introduction:

After a successful edition of the Taiwan Esophageal Cancer Forum in 2020 focusing on multidisciplinary approaches, we take it one step further this year by stepping into unfamiliar yet increasingly influential territories of esophageal cancer treatments.  

A 1-day program focusing on immuno-oncology, cervical esophageal cancer, organ preservation strategy and early detection program will be presented by Taiwanese and international prime movers of their inspirational contributions to the “war on esophageal cancer”. 

To encourage young clinical scientists in Asia and trigger scientific creativity, an oral presentation contest of free papers will be organized and presided by an intercontinental jury.

The presenters and their projects will be scored on originality of idea, study approach, clinical relevance, oral presentation and oral discussion.

• Papers are expected to have high scientific quality and clinical relevance
• Papers and oral demonstrations will be presented in English
• We highly welcome multidisciplinary projects and participants from other East-Asian regions
