Boris Pekárek

I graduated from the Faculty of Medicine at Comenius University in Bratislava in 2002. From 2002 to April 2010, I worked at the Internal Medicine Clinic in Trnava, where I obtained a specialization in gastroenterology in 2008.

Since April 2010, I have been working at the Gastroenterology Department of the National Cancer Institute, and since 2017, I have been the head of this department. I have completed several specialized training courses abroad. From 2018 to 2024, I was the chairman of the Oncology Section of the Slovak Gastroenterological Society.

I am currently the chair of the Endoscopy Section of the Slovak Gastroenterological Society and a member of the committee of the Slovak Gastroenterological Society. My main area of interest is endoscopic diagnosis and endoscopic treatment of early tumors of the esophagus, stomach, colon, and rectum.

I share my experience and work results in professional publications and at professional conferences, as well as a trainer of basic and advanced endoscopic techniques at home and abroad.
