Founded in 2000, the International Society of Geriatric Oncology, commonly referred to by its French acronym SIOG (Société Internationale d’Oncologie Gériatrique), is an international multidisciplinary network of healthcare professionals treating older cancer patients. The network spans over 80 countries and includes geriatricians, medical oncologists, surgical oncologists, radiation oncologists, anaesthesiologists, as well as nursing and allied health professionals.
Populations around the world are rapidly ageing. Advancing age is a high risk factor for cancer, in individuals over 65. Oncologists and all health professionals need to shift their focus to the field of geriatrics for improving the care of older cancer patients.
Do you want to be part of an international multidisciplinary network of experts improving clinical practices for older cancer patients?
Every year, SIOG Awards recognise health professionals for their outstanding contributions and novel initatives for advancing learning and knowledge in geriatric oncology.
SIOG works through an international expert consensus to guide education, clinical practice, and research for the improvement of the care of older cancer patients.
SIOG’s official scientific journal, Journal of Geriatric Oncology, publishes editorials, reviews, original articles and letters related to geriatric oncology.
The SIOG Annual Conference is the leading conference for health professionals involved in the treatment of older cancer patients.
