22nd Swiss GIST Annual Reunion & Oncology Day
To mark its 22nd annual meeting, the Swiss GIST Group and its partners are organising a day devoted to oncology, open to the general public, patients, healthcare professionals and researchers.
25 April 2025, from 11:15 to 19:00
Screening of the film "Les Courageux" at 16:30
Genolier Innovation Hub
This year's event will highlight scientific and technological advances in the fight against cancer, beyond gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GIST), by addressing topical issues in oncology. The day will close with the presence of Ophélia Kolb, actress in the film ‘Les Courageux’, and the screening of this poignant film. The film illustrates precariousness and loneliness, themes that resonate with the mission of the Swiss GIST Group and its commitment to supporting every patient.
We look forward to welcoming many of you to this exceptional day. It is also possible to register for the film screening only.
