Dear ISDE members,

I regret to inform you of the very sad news that our dear colleague Prof. Christophe Mariette, an ISDE 2018 program committee member passed away on July 19. He was Head of Surgery at Lille CHRU, Professor of surgery and internationally recognized researcher in the field of cancer. 

Prof. Mariette was a great  Upper GI surgeon and had been dedicated to his patients. He had been leading an international multi-institutional study for multimodal treatment for esophageal diseases for many years. For ISDE2018, I had been closely working with him on its program until quite recently and he was expected to give several plenary lectures at ISDE2018. This is a sad and great loss indeed to all of us.

On behalf of all of us at ISDE, I express our deepest sympathies to his family and his colleagues at Lille CHRU

May his heart and soul find peace and comfort.

Sincerely yours,

Yuko Kitagawa

President of ISDE

The ISDE is sad to report the recent death of Dr. Christophe Mariette at age 47.  Dr. Mariette began his training at Lille University Hospital in 1994 and spent his career in Lille, rising to become Head of the Department of General and Digestive Surgery of CHRU of Lille. 

He specialized in treatment of esophageal cancer and was internationally recognized for his research in digestive oncology.  He was a vital member of the ISDE Database and Research Committee, and played an active role in ECCG. 

He was known for his excellent clinical abilities, devotion to teaching, scientific reasoning, self-deprecating humor, and kind demeanor.  We extend our condolences to his family, friends, and colleagues.

Our affiliated society, the European Society for Diseases of the Esophagus, is calling for abstract for the 2017 meeting in Utrecht. --> more
