The 59th Annual Meeting of the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases San Francisco, CA

Moscone West Convention Center

October 31 - November 4, 2008

The Liver Meeting® is the premier meeting in the science and practice of hepatology, including the latest findings on new drugs, novel treatments, and the results from pilot and multicenter studies.

Approximately 10 percent of Americans have some form of liver disease, and the diseases strike disproportionately among certain populations but mostly regardless of lifestyle choices. There are now numerous treatments for both hepatitis B and C, and screening, treatment, and prevention of hepatitis remain important issues. Liver cancer is one of the few cancers growing in incidence, and the obesity epidemic has dire consequences for the nation’s liver health and wellness.

The approximately 1560 abstracts addressing these issues that will be presented are available to members of the press at our Web site (www.aasld.org), including almost 240 abstracts that will be presented in oral sessions.

San Francisco, CA - October 31 - November 4, 2008

Poster Presentations: November 1-4

Oral Presentations: November 2-4

An AASLD President’s press conference highlighting key abstracts and issues presented at the Liver Meeting® is scheduled for Saturday, November 1 at 4:00 pm.

Founded in 1950, AASLD is the leading organization of scientists and healthcare professionals committed to preventing and curing liver disease. AASLD has grown to an international society responsible for all aspects of hepatology, and our annual meeting attracts 7,500 physicians, surgeons, researchers, and allied health professionals from around the world.
