GIST Sarcoma Life Raft Group Canada is pleased to announce that registration is now open for the GIST Day of Learning in Vancouver. The GIST Day of Learning is a one-day conference that provides education and support for people living with Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumours (GISTs), which are soft-tissue sarcomas that can occur anywhere along the GI tract. The Day of Learning will cover many aspects of living with and understanding GIST and provide an update on investigational new drugs being evaluated in clinical trials for GIST. It will also be a great opportunity for you to connect with other GIST patients, caregivers and the presenters.
The Day of Learning is free and open to people who have GIST, family members, caregivers, healthcare providers and anyone who wishes to learn more about GIST.
