New book Gastric Cancer first launched on the 10th CGCC
The 10th Chinese Gastric Cancer Congress (CGCC) and the 3rd Sunlight Great Wall Cancer Academic Conference, hosted by Chinese Anti-Cancer Association and Beijing Cancer Hospital, was held in Beijing International Conference Center on June 27-28th, 2015. The congress has continued the theme of “Standardization, Fusion, Innovation”, aimed to facilitate Chinese standardization of diagnosis and treatment in gastric cancer, multidisciplinary collaboration and development of translational medicine, and also prepare for the International Gastric Cancer Congress which would be held in Beijing in 2017. The book Gastric Cancer (Figure 1) chief-edited by Prof. Jiafu Ji, President of the IGCC 2017 from Beijing Cancer Hospital, was also launched on this congress.
On the launch conference, Gastric Cancer was released to the readers (Figures 2,3). This book is chief-edited by Prof. Jiafu Ji from Beijing Cancer Hospital, associate edited by Dr. Guy D. Eslick from University of Sydney and Dr. Hyung-Ho Kim from Seoul National University Bundang Hospital. A total of 287 authors from 15 countries have contributed their great works to Gastric Cancer whose content consists of 9 chapters including research status review of Chinese gastric cancer, diagnosis, multidisciplinary treatment, research on surgical treatment, surgical video, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, radiotherapy and translational research. The Authors and editors are sincere to make Gastric Cancer an international monograph on medicine and present the recent research development on international gastric cancer.
On the launch conference, Prof. Jiafu Ji fully affirmed the readability of Gastric Cancer in diagnosis, prevention and treatment for gastric cancer, and acknowledged the nationwide youth surgeons’ efforts for translating the book into Chinese. Prof. Ji also expected that more Chinese experts could participate in the gastrointestinal research in the coming future (Figure 4).
Mr. Weimin Cai, Director of Innovative Marketing Department, Medtronic, congratulated the publication of Gastric Cancer, expressed great expectation on the medical monograph, and promised that Medtronic would insist on serving the community (Figure 5).
Prof. Zhaode Bu, Assistant Editor of Gastric Cancer, from Beijing Cancer Hospital also recommended the gastrointestinal monograph to the audience and wished Gastric Cancer would be welcomed by most of Chinese gastrointestinal surgeons and benefited to more patients (Figure 6).
To make the attendees have a close look at Gastric Cancer, AME Publishing Company also set up a booth outside the launch conference. Let us take a look at the exciting scene at the booth (Figures 7,8).
This CGCC also gathered many international experts (Figure 9). The Science Editors were honored to invite Prof. Hyung-Ho Kim form Seoul National University Bundang Hospital, Korea (Figure 9A), Prof. Yung-Jue Bang form Seoul National University College of Medicine & Hospital, Korea (Figure 9B), Prof. Sung Hoon Noh from Yonsei University College of Medicine in Seoul, Korea (Figure 9C), and Dr. Emel Canbay from Istanbul University, Turkey (Figure 9D) to give comments and recommendations on Gastric Cancer. Just as Prof. Kim said:
“This book is composed of nice sections and authors from 15 countries. Each country has different situation in gastric cancer, so we can learn what’s going on in this field around the world. And also we have a special section for surgical video, from which we can learn how to treat gastric cancer. I strongly recommend having this book for more studying and learning.”
The editors also hope Gastric Cancer on which has expended international gastrointestinal scholars’ energies will enlighten the surgeons in this field, make the basic research in gastrointestinal practically applied to clinic and let the patients really benefit from the basic research.
