Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of the organizing and scientific committee, it is our pleasure to invite you all to the Hybrid conference of the 3rd Controversies in GI/GU Oncology, hosted by the Cancer Center for Excellence, King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The success of our previous conferences on the Controversies in GI/GU Oncology has brought us once again to pursue another collective discussion in the treatment of these cancers that will hopefully shed light and advance our knowledge in the current standard treatment of Gastrointestinal and Genitourinary malignancies. It is with optimism that with very interesting scientific program that focuses on the different approaches in GI/GU cancer management, this debate format will give us another opportunity to know and learn novel treatment options and advance our knowledge in the field of Oncology.
Our local panel of experts from the different institutions and regions will be engaged in these interactive debates and educational presentation that covers the most controversial topics that may help medical practitioners towards optimal standard of care.
Your active participation in this oncology conference will certainly be very valuable and we wish everyone a productive educational experience in the debate sessions.
Finally, to our Sponsors who contributed to make this event possible, our utmost gratitude and appreciation for the enormous support.
