The La Tour Center for Digestive Diseases is a multidisciplinary group composed of physicians from La Tour Hospital. Each physician has a specific area of expertise, which enables the group to address the full range of conditions with a very high standard of care. The case reports produced by the Center are summaries based on the opinions of various experts.
Areas of Expertise
The center meets every two weeks to discuss the cases referred to it. It focuses in particular on the areas listed below and all related conditions, including suspected malignant tumors.

- Stomach
- Small intestine
- Colon
- Rectum
- Liver

How do I report a case?
A registration form is available by clicking on this link.
The deadline for submitting cases is 12:00 p.m. on the day before the meetings.
How can I follow the center's meetings?
The meetings are open to any physician who wishes to attend. They are held in the meeting room of the Radiology Department at Hôpital de La Tour, Building B2, lower ground floor. The meetings are accessible via videoconference. A Zoom link will be sent to you the day before the meetings, along with the list of submitted cases. Whenever possible, a specific time slot will be assigned to each case, so that physicians who wish to do so may participate only in the cases that interest them.
Physicians who register a patient may present the case themselves (in person or via videoconference) or delegate the presentation to one of the center’s members.
Billing
The patient will be billed for a consultation for each visit. It is the responsibility of the physician who registers the case to ensure the patient’s consent. The consultation is covered by mandatory health insurance, but patients without Swiss insurance must pay the full cost.
