9 T H INTERNATIONAL EFR CONGRESS
OPENING ADDRESS
by the EFR President, Béla Teleky
It is a great pleasure and honour to invite you attending
the 9th EFR – European Federation for coloRectal Cancer
Congress to be held from April 9th – 11th, 2015 at the
Medical University of Vienna. Following the success of the previous
conferences, the main objectives of this meeting will be progress and future
developments in the treatment of colorectal cancer. The management of
colorectal cancer requires a multidisciplinary approach with individualized
treatment concepts due to stage and risk factors. The conference schedule
will provide you with the latest data of multimodality treatment of colorectal
cancer and the optimization of different treatment components.
The program of this Congress will focus on improved diagnostic options,
prognostic factors and surgical techniques, but also on the progress made in
the field of state-of-the-art-radio- and chemotherapy. The presentations have
been organized to allow sufficient time for interdisciplinary discussions.
Abstract submitters will have the chance to present their works. The best
three abstracts will be selected and honoured by the Ingeborg Hörhager
Prize.
The Austrian Capital, Vienna, also described as Europe s cultural capital, is a
metropolis with unique charm, vibrancy and flair. As a Clean and a safe city,
it boasts outstanding infrastructure and has all the inspiration that you could
wish for in order to discover this wonderful part of Europe, especially during
the spring time.
In the historical Belvedere, you will be given the chance of being intimately
close to famous paintings. Enjoying the evening at the Townhall Vienna you
will have the opportunity of getting to know new people, build new friendships and meet old acquaintances again.
We look forward to welcoming you to an inspiring congress in Vienna in 2015.
Béla Teleky, MD, FRCS
President of the EFR
