We invite you to review the draft Family Practice Oncology Network (FPON) Guideline: Upper GI Cancer Part 3: Hepatobiliary Cancers, supported by the BC Cancer Primary Care Program. You are receiving this invite because you are a health system partner who may be interested in or impacted by the guideline recommendations. Your feedback will be invaluable in shaping guideline content, format, and decreasing burdens for busy BC primary healthcare practitioners.

Some examples of NEW recommendations for these updated guidelines include:

• Screening: Screening in the average risk population for upper GI cancers is not recommended, but should be considered for certain high-risk groups;

• Hereditary Cancer Program: Which upper GI Cancers are linked to hereditary syndromes and how to refer to the Hereditary Cancer Program (HCP);

• New Treatments: A variety of systemic therapies may be available for some Upper GI cancers as determined by a multidisciplinary team approach
