A Review of the last evidence in treating older patients with cancer
A Discussion around your most challenging cases
The first SIOG USA Forum occurred on April 11, 2015 at the Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, Florida. The goal of the full day Scientific Program was to raise awareness of Geriatric Oncology in the United States and lay the groundwork for future programs.
Topics included geriatric assessment and disease related topics including castrate resistant prostate cancer, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, non small cell lung cancer, melanoma and multiple myeloma. There were also discussion of cases presentations and various aspects of the complexity of decision making in older cancer patients.
