On November 14 and 15, Digestive Cancers Europe (DiCE) and EuropaColon Portugal proudly hosted ENTERO 2024 in the scenic city of Porto, Portugal.

This groundbreaking conference brought together a vibrant community of patients, healthcare providers, researchers, and policymakers to focus on the growing challenge of early-age onset digestive cancers.

Over two dynamic days, ENTERO delivered a rich program of powerful patient testimonials, scientific updates, and forward-looking discussions. Highlights included sessions on the epidemiology of early-onset digestive cancers, challenges associated with being diagnosed young, precision medicine, lifestyle factors, and the critical role of community awareness in addressing early-age onset cancers.

Our incredible speakers—spanning courageous patients and European experts—shared insights that inspired actionable steps toward improving diagnosis, treatment, support, and survivorship outcomes.

A key takeaway from ENTERO was the importance of collaboration. The conference underscored the need for stronger partnerships between patients, clinicians, and researchers to drive meaningful change.

From the emotional resonance of patient stories to the compelling evidence presented by scientific leaders, ENTERO reinforced our shared mission: to ensure every patient receives timely, effective care tailored to their unique needs during a critical time in their lives.

DiCE extends heartfelt thanks to all participants, speakers, and sponsors who made ENTERO 2024 an unforgettable event. To relive the highlights, visit the website and stay tuned for upcoming initiatives inspired by the momentum of ENTERO 2024.
