Volume 87 - 2024 - Fasc.2 - Editorial
Essential reading from the editor’s desk
We would like to start this editorial by sharing
sad news that has deeply affected the entire Belgian
gastroenterology community. Professor René Fiasse,
from the gastro-enterology department at Cliniques
Universitaires Saint-Luc, passed away on February 26,
2024, at the age of 87. Every member of the gastroenterology
community had the privilege of knowing him
and experiencing his passion for science, his dedication
to research, and his commitment to patients (he led the
French-speaking patients’ association for many years). In
this issue of Gastroenterologica Belgica, Professor Yvan
Borbath pays a heartfelt tribute to this extraordinary
scientist and remarkable individual.
In this issue, several important papers deserve to be
highlighted.
