The European Foregut Society (EFS) today represents the leading association in Europe for benign foregut disease and pre-malignancy.
Our Mission
The EFS fosters partnership and exchange of ideas throughout Europe, across disciplines and between clinicians in the management of patients with benign foregut disease and pre-malignancy. We encourage international multidisciplinary dialogue, education, and research. Our society is assisting in the development of benchmarks that improve diagnosis, treatment and outcomes for patients with foregut symptoms and we offer support for their implementation.
Fighting the foregut diseases
We want to be different! Traditional societies tend to focus mainly on cancer and bariatrics to the extent that benign disease is largely marginalized. The emphasis of EFS is on the collaboration of professionals to develop the best practice for patients with benign and premalignant foregut disease.
Multidisciplinary Pan – European Society
We offer the knowledge and expertise of leading experts across all parts of Europe, in the field of surgery, endoscopy, gastroenterology, pathology and radiology, to personalize treatment and improve patients outcomes.
