Five editions. One shared ambition: bringing surgeons and oncologists to the same table in Milan.
We are pleased to present the 5th edition of the Milan Colorectal Congress, to be held at San Raffaele Hospital in Milan on May 19th–21st, 2027. The Congress remains a key moment for sharing knowledge in colorectal surgery and oncologic treatment.
Colon and rectal cancer updates, cutting-edge technologies and an open dialogue between oncology and surgery. An international panel of leading authorities will shape the programme through plenary lectures, debates, sponsored lunch symposia and live surgeries.
