DR Reddy's Laboratories Ltd is organising the `Meet the Stars' symposia for the second consecutive year.
These symposia on gastrointestinal (GI) cancer would be held in Chennai, Mumbai and Delhi between July 15 and 17.
In a press release here on Friday, the company said GI cancer is one of the most prevalent forms of cancer and is the second highest cause of mortality worldwide.
Over 1.3 lakh cases are reported in India alone every year.
This year, the `Meet the Stars' symposia would have Dr Eric Van Cutsem from Belgium, a leading authority in the field of GI cancers and Chairman of World Congress on GI Cancers, as the keynote speaker, and Dr Stanley Brienza, General Manager and Medical Director of Debio Clinic, France, as the co-speaker.
According to Dr Reddy's Managing Director and COO, Mr Satish Reddy, "GI cancer remains an under-met medical need, constantly abuzz with research and new protocols and hence these symposia assume special relevance."
Over 400 leading oncologists from across the country are expected to attend this meet.
These symposia will also include special sessions for case studies and discussions by leading Indian oncologists, the release said.
