• Abstracts must be submitted via the online submission portal. There is no limit in the number of abstracts that may be submitted by each author
• The presenting author must be a GI Cancer Trials member, registered as a fully paid delegate, and attend the ASM in person. Registration can be completed after abstract acceptance is notified.
