The course Faculty is organised in such a manner so as to complement the works and findings of local/regional experts. As SIOG\, the core faculty conducts these sessions\, by injecting knowledge\, skills and experience focusing on the geriatric oncology perspective\, which could include (1) tumour perspective – but highlighting the relevance of age and differing biology when relevant; (2) geriatric aspects – e.g. the impact of physiological reserve on treatment options/dosing etc. if for systemic therapy\, the value of geriatric assessment (GA) in selecting treatment (systemic vs local (surgery/radiation) and in optimizing treatment once selected (with intervention following GA). \nModules\n\nCancer in the older person: what is different?\nBiology of aging\nScreening tools\nGeriatric assessment and interventions in oncology\nPrediction and possible reduction of toxicity of chemotherapy in older patients\nDelirium\, depression\, dementia\nThe other geriatric syndromes (sarcopenia osteoporosis\, malnutrition\, incontinence\, etc.)\nPolypharmacy & Nutrition\nSupportive care issues\nPrehabilitation and rehabilitation\nFatigue\nBreast cancer: cases and discussion\nLung cancer: cases and discussion\nColorectal cancer: cases and discussion\n\nFaculty\n\nProf. Hans Wildiers (BE)\nDr. Roy J.

WHO data published in 2018 show life expectancy in the Philippines to be 66.2 years for males and 72.6 years for females. Cancer mortality claimed 28\,700 males and 27\,900 females in 2014\, according to WHO. “Women tend to live longer than men\,” Susan Mercado\, deputy secretary general\, Philippine Red Cross\, told a policy meeting convened Wednesday (15 May) by the International Society of Geriatric Oncology (SIOG) and the Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Organization\, Regional Centre for Tropical Medicine and Public Health. <Continue Reading> \nRed Cross joins partnership to boost healthcare for elderly cancer patients\n \n[MANILA\, Philippines April 10\, 2019] The Philippine Red Cross (PRC) continues to expand its healthcare program as it partnered with three organizations to strengthen services for cancer-stricken elderly patients through intensive training.   PRC signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the International Society for Geriatric Oncology (SIOG)\, the Philippine Cancer Society and the Philippine College of Geriatric Medicine (PCGM) to work on delivering an Advanced Training Course on Geriatric Oncology for clinicians in the Philippines. \nA better deal for those ageing with cancer \n \n[GENEVA\, Switzerland April 11\, 2019] Thanks to efforts in development and progress in healthcare\, human life expectancy is increasing worldwide. The downside to this\, however\, is the significant rise in cancer cases among the elderly.\nPartnerships to improve expertise – A recently agreed collaboration between SIOG and the Philippine Red Cross\, the Philippine Cancer Society and the Philippine College of Geriatric Medicine is the first of a number of regional partnerships aimed at improving access to expertise in geriatric oncology. On 15th May this year\, SIOG and the SEAMEO TROPMED and Public Health Network have invited countries to discuss current policies for the strengthening of human resources for health in Geriatric Oncology in South-East Asia. SIOG is currently completing a major study to underpin success stories\, challenges\, funding\, and new care initiatives culminating with a policy meeting taking place at the United Nations in Geneva\, Switzerland on 14 November this year.\nThe chair of the initiative\, Martine Extermann\, senior adult oncology\, Moffitt Cancer Centre\, adds that the SIOG report due in 2019 will consolidate country recommendations to generate and communicate knowledge to the stakeholders of cancer in ageing\, thus contributing directly or indirectly to equitable health development in country settings; adapting and applying knowledge generated elsewhere for the achievement of international health development; and contributing to the global knowledge database.\nThe development of elderly cancer care models must embrace and incorporate the fundamental principles of geriatric oncology\, says the president of SIOG\, Hans Wildiers\, a medical oncologist from UZ Leuven\, Belgium.\nThe SIOG community and its country partners will continue to push the boundaries worldwide for better patient outcomes for those in the ageing population that are afflicted by cancer—both scientifically and through policy thought leadership. By doing this\, it is contributing to the vision of Kofi Annan for the promotion of solidarity between generations in combating discrimination against older patients and in building a future of security\, opportunity for treatment and dignity for them.\nDownload the press release (pdf) \n  \nPartnership to strengthen cancer care for the elderly population in the Philippines\n \n[MANILA\, Philippines March 28\, 2019] – Four organizations have taken a decisive step this month towards improving the quality of care for elderly cancer patients so that the Philippines would be the in a better position to handle this incoming “grey tsunami”. Today – the International Society for Geriatric Oncology (SIOG)\, the Philippine Red Cross (PRC)\, the Philippine Cancer Society and the Philippine College of Geriatric Medicine (PCGM) have come together to work on delivering an Advanced Training Course on Geriatric Oncology for clinicians in the Philippines.<More>\nDownload the press release (pdf)

The aims are to develop the general principles of both geriatric and oncology medicine that are useful to treat elderly cancer patient. The oncological sessions will be focused on the principles of cancer treatment in the elderly\, the geriatric ones will be focused on the assessment of the elderly patient\, with particular emphasis about polypharmacy\, multimorbidity and frailty. In a scenario where the “Target and Tailored Therapy” is the gold standard\, the collaboration with international experts in the field of geriatrics and oncology allows students to take part of a training program designed to provide the basis of the assessment and the multi-dimensional approach that should be applied to elderly cancer patients. Thanks to the intervention of internationally recognized teachers as the leading experts in the geriatric oncology\, students will be part of an international network. \nAt the end of this course participants will be able to perform a Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment\, to deal with the therapeutic strategy of the main solid tumors and lymphomas in the elderly\, to evaluate risk factors for chemotherapy toxicity and to set up clinical trials in this age group. \nThe course aims are: \n1. To provide basic information related to cancer medicine to the geriatricians and to the application of geriatric principles to the clinical oncologists\n2. To train young medical oncologists and geriatricians to work together. These individuals will become the bridge between the oncological and geriatric teams in their own institutions \nCourse documents: students will be provided with booklet\, copies of the main articles related to the presentations and slides presented at the course. \nCourse Director: S.

SUMMARY:SIOG 2006 The Hague
DESCRIPTION:November 2-4\, 2006\nScheveningen\nThe Hague\, the Netherlands \nThe conference was a great success\, being attended by most European experts\, and many from North America and the rest of the world. Delegates came from everywhere\, indicating the worldwide importance of the question. \nThe meeting started with an original session on how to conduct clinical trials in elderly. Overall survival is a bad endpoint for this population\, and should be replaced by disease free survival. Genetics and physiology of aging were explained\, followed by a session on the use of targeted therapies in elderly cancer patients. There were also several sessions on specific tumour types presented by experts from various specialities\, surgery\, radiation oncology\, medical oncology and nursing. Several task forces from SIOG presented the first guidelines focusing on elderly cancer patients with topics ranging from geriatric assessment\, chemotherapy toxicity\, renal function\, approach to anaemia and neutropenia\, breast cancer and prostate cancer\, to gastrointestinal cancer.
