The 5th webinar of the ABC Web Series on OPTIMAL MANAGEMENT OF AN OLDER FRAIL PATIENT WITH ADVANCED/METASTATIC BREAST CANCER will happen on 15 June 2023, from 13:30-14:30 CEST with distinguished speakers Fatima Cardoso, Laura Biganzoli, Etienne Brain, Matti Aapro, and Elizabeth Bergsten Nordström. In each webinar of the series, we will discuss challenging clinical issues, for which available data is scarce, and hence expert guidance is key. This discussion will lead to the development of a new guideline statement that will then be further discussed and voted during the ABC 7 Consensus Conference. The ABC Consensus Conference started from the willingness to change the outcomes of ABC patients. Its primary goal is the development of international consensus guidelines for the management of advanced breast cancer. The event will be hosted on Thursday 15 June 2023, from 13:30-14:30 CEST. Please note that recordings of webinars will not be made available, [...]

The project on Geriatric Oncology, held in collaboration with SIOG (International Society of Geriatric Oncology) foresees 4 short podcasts and 4 Meet the experts webinars. Medical practices and knowledge are continuously and rapidly evolving. New diagnostics tests, therapies and recommendations are always added to the market and studies are constantly performed to reassess relative efficacies of current treatment options. Continuing education addresses these issues in order to keep clinicians up-to-date on new information, as well as reinforce quality information. Patients also have ongoing educational needs related to health literacy and understanding treatment options.

We invite you to join this #EUHPP Live Webinar co-organised with ACF and SIOG. Health literacy, patient empowerment, shared decision-making (SDM) and patient empowerment are major buzzwords today. For the Anticancer Fund (ACF) and the International Society of Geriatric Oncology (SIOG), however, these represent the cornerstones of a successful, efficient and effective patient-centred healthcare. All patients have the right to receive accurate information about their cancer, their different treatment options and the potential side effects. The Anticancer Fund (ACF) and International Society of Geriatric Oncology (SIOG) are therefore pleased to announce their first collaborative event in 2023. We will be hosting an interactive webinar on shared-decision making (SDM) and patient empowerment within the geriatric population. We’ll talk about the importance and unique characteristics of SDM and challenge all healthcare professionals (HCP) working with elderly cancer patients and their relatives to actively engage them. The team of the My Cancer Navigator [...]
