Latin American and Caribbean Society of Medical Oncology (SLACOM) is attempting to help their region, which presently exists in Latin America a diversity in levels of medical oncology academic titles, countries with limited resources, and a very high incidence of the disease. There is a huge need for developing coherent standards in cancer education, investigation, cancer treatment and to disseminate the information. It is a firm conviction of the founding members of SLACOM that the development of a regional society, composed of oncologists from different countries of the region, would have a decisive role in the education and training of its members and through them, establishing standards of treatment that will benefit cancer patients of the region. At present, within Latin America, there is a regional organization, Federación de Sociedades Latinoamericanas de Cáncer (FLASCA). FLASCA is a Federation consituted by cancer organizations, cancer centres, cancer leagues and different institutions. FLASCA, as well as FECS, does not have individual members. UICC accepted SLACOM in 2005 as full member.
UICC is comprised of a wealth and variety of members
