The international Study Group on non-pancreatic peri-Ampullary CAncer is founded in 2018 and is a multidisciplinary consortium where clinicians with interest in the periampullary diseases as part of their special interest can meet, exchange ideas, brain storm and collaborate to develop a better understanding in the physio-pathogenesis of the non-pancreatic periampullary diseases, and thus, leading to the development of clearer pathways and better management of our patients. 

The initiative has found great interest and the group was initially founded by surgeon from all over the world, but quickly, and recognizing the importance of the multidisciplinary approach in the management of this disease as in all complex diseases, invitations were extended to other key players in this field including; oncologists, pathologists, radiologists, and gastroenterologists. Clinicians with interest in this field who would like to join the consortium are welcome. We also welcome any research proposals which are in line with the scope of this consortium.
