Wayne Feinstein, Chairman of the Board of Directors, Gastric Cancer Foundation, announced the development of a significant research partnership with the American Gastroenterological Association. He noted that in 2014 the first AGA-GCF Research Scholar Award in Gastric and Esophageal Cancer will be awarded to fund young investigators with the tools needed to focus their research on gastrointestinal tract cancers.
