It’s my pleasure to host you 27 to 29 September 2018 in Marseille for the second EUS-ENDO meeting. EUS-ENDO will offer you one day of live transmission from Paoli-Calmettes Institute to the SILO in the new center of Marseille. We have invited worldwide experts on EUS and Endoscopy, they will give lectures and will demonstrate the last developments of these technologies (ERCP, ESD, Therapeutic EUS, etc….) during the live demonstrations. New scopes will be showed as new accessories. The main goal of this meeting will be to demonstrate the complementarity of EUS and ERCP for bilio-pancreatic diseases, to show also new procedures as radiofrequency ablation of bilio-pancreatic cancers, cholangio-pancreatoscopy, confocal laser endomicrsocopy, etc…

The second day will be interactive between the participants and the experts, 3 sessions of oral communications will be organized in which participants will debate with the experts. Abstracts and Posters presented during EUS-ENDO will be published in Endoscopic Ultrasound review.
