What’s New in GI 2024
What’s New in GI will provide attendees with practical information that can be applied today in their clinical practice. Discussions will include the latest updates on recognizing symptoms and using current data to establish diagnoses and formulate appropriate treatment plans for the management of gastrointestinal diseases. Several topics will be presented at this one-day symposium through lectures and Q&A session for UT Southwestern experts in the field of gastroenterology. This course is designed for gastroenterologists, GI surgeons, internal medicine physicians, family practice physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants and other health care providers with an interest in gastroenterology.

Tumor loss-of-function mutations in STK11/LKB1 induce cachexia
Cancer cachexia (CC), a wasting syndrome of muscle and adipose tissue resulting in weight loss, is observed in 50% of patients with solid tumors. Management of CC is limited by the absence of biomarkers and knowledge of molecules that drive its phenotype.

UT Southwestern: A global leader in robotic pancreas surgery
Traditionally performed through a large incision, at UT Southwestern our pancreatic cancer surgeons have specialized in robotic-assisted Whipple surgery, a more precise approach through smaller incisions that has been proven to benefit patients with faster recovery times, less pain, less use of pain medication, and prompter return to work. It has also been shown to have comparable cancer treatment results with lower rates of complications and transfusions than the open surgery.
