The SIOG Annual Conference 2023
ABOUT SIOG
Advancing age is a high-risk factor for cancer, with individuals over 65 accounting for 60% of newly diagnosed malignancies and 70% of all cancer deaths. As oncologists around the world shift their focus to the field of geriatrics, an increased understanding of the impact of research, innovation and clinical practices for older adults with cancer is becoming of critical importance. The International Society of Geriatric Oncology, also called SIOG (French acronym for Société Internationale d’Oncologie Gériatrique), is a not-for-profit organisation founded in the year 2000 and registered in Switzerland. SIOG is a multidisciplinary medical society of doctors and allied health professionals with expertise in oncology, geriatrics and supportive care. SIOG counts members in more than 84 countries around the world.
WHY SUPPORT SIOG ANNUAL CONFERENCES?
The SIOG Annual Conference is the only geriatric oncology conference for health professionals involved in the treatment of older cancer patients. Over the past few years, we have now gone beyond the challenge of convincing the international community that cancer in ageing populations deserves the attention and support to strengthen education, clinical practice and research for the global ageing population with cancer. SIOG is now a multidisciplinary community with members from highly diverse backgrounds, all working for older patients with cancer. The SIOG Annual Conference is a place where researchers, health care professionals and industry partners gather from across the world to discuss the latest in cancer for older patients.
WHY SUPPORT THE SIOG 2023 ANNUAL CONFERENCE?
Today, all oncologists are considered as geriatric oncologists. Geriatric oncology is no longer a niche field with only a few dedicated researchers and clinicians. SIOG is one of the leading societies channelling the knowledge and foresights of professionals to help determine the top priorities and actions to enhance the effectiveness of including geriatric protocols in the treatment and care of cancers of the elderly patients. Our conference delegates leave with new ideas and skills to improve their clinical practices and research methodologies, with an enhanced professional network and added value to their works.
The benefits of supporting the SIOG Annual Conference will include the following:
- Exposure to 500+ oncologists, researchers, clinical practitioners, geriatricians, radiologists, psychologists, nutritionists, nurses and other healthcare professionals serving older cancer patients.
- Increase the brand awareness of your company.
- Discussion of news and current trends and developments for cancer in ageing populations.
- Learn/identify expected future trends and necessary developments in the field of geriatric oncology.
