The Gastrointestinal group is open to gastroenterologists, surgeons, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, other medical specialists, nurses, stoma care providers, researchers and other health care professionals with an interest in the management of both colorectal and upper gastrointestinal malignancies.
The aim of the group is to promote education of health care professionals and the public on this area of oncology. We also aim to provide a role in public health advocacy (particularly with regard to screening for colorectal cancer) and best practice guideline development.
The group has close links with the Australasian Gastrointestinal Trials Group (AGITG) that is predominantly involved in the conduct, organisation and development of multi-centre gastrointestinal oncology clinical trails.
Chair: Associate Professor Eva Segelov
