摘要

Since the launch of Asia Pacific Association for the Study of the Liver Diseases (APASL) in 1978, its main objective has been to promote the scientific advancement and education of hepatology in the Asia-Pacific region, including the exchange of information and the development of consensus in the field of hepatology. It coordinates scientific studies between scientists and clinicians living in this region and encourages the practice of medicine in liver diseases. APASL has continued to fulfill its objective by conducting academic meetings in the field of liver diseases. One of the meetings is APASL Single Topic Conference (STC), which was held recently in Thailand for the second time during November 22–24, 2007, by the Liver Society (Thailand).
