11th Meeting of the International Society of Geriatric Oncology

The International Society of Geriatric Oncology, or Société Internationale d’Oncologie Gériatrique in French, hence the acronym SIOG, was founded in 2000.

The major risk factor for cancer is age, and with the aging of the world population, a major epidemiologic challenge is before us.

11th Meeting of the International Society of Geriatric Oncology 4-5 November 2011
The program offers you a wide range of lectures and the opportunity to interactively discuss important issues that we face in the treatment of senior adults with malignant diseases. The agenda allows for scientific updates and practical implementation, with interactive sessions to stimulate intensive exchange of opinions and views that exist amongst the geriatric oncology professionals. The congress is specifically designed for all care givers who are involved in the treatment of cancer in elderly patients: basic scientists, surgeons, geriatricians, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, psychologists, sociologists and all interested in the latest developments in the management of cancer in senior adults.
