Digestive Disease Week 2023: Cedars-Sinai Experts Share Latest Research, Care Innovations
Studies Presented by Cedars-Sinai Investigators Include: Risks of Artificial Sweeteners, Pancreatic Cancer Immunotherapy, Fibrosis in Liver and Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Obesity Management and Rise in Anal Cancer Among Women
Digestive Disease Week (DDW) is the largest international gathering of physicians, researchers, and academics in the fields of gastroenterology, hepatology, endoscopy, and gastrointestinal surgery. DDW2023 will take place May 6-9 in Chicago and showcase 3,100 abstracts and hundreds of lectures on the latest advances in GI research, clinical practice and technology.
Cedars-Sinai physicians and scientists will be on hand to share their latest research and are also available to comment on a wide variety of clinical and scientific developments in the field of digestive diseases.
The studies below are a sample of more than 60 papers by Cedars-Sinai investigators covering irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), digestive system cancers, the role of sex differences in disease and the use of AI technology to improve diagnosis.
Interviews can be arranged to be done in person or via most virtual formats, including Zoom, FaceTime and Skype. For more information or to set up interviews about Cedars-Sinai presentations with experts in digestive diseases, please contact Laura Coverson by phone at 310-562-1112 or by email: Laura.Coverson@cshs.org.
