Advancing evidence and care for older adults with cancer
#GeriOnc
❗ Two weeks left to apply!

Older adults make up most patients with #cancer, yet evidence does not fully reflect them. In #GeriatricOncology, better research starts with better study design.

Join the #SIOGResearchMasterclass.
Apply by 8 March: https://loom.ly/QFO3xsk

📢 SIOG is exploring a new interest group on haematological malignancies in older adults.

If you’re a SIOG member working in #GeriatricHaematology, we’d value your input to help shape this initiative.

Today is #WorldCancerDay
#UnitedByUnique calls for rethinking how cancer care responds to ageing. At SIOG, advancing care for older adults means combining evidence with respect for individual values
Through #SPARC, SIOG brings voices together to shape more people-centred care

People-centred care needs more than good intentions. It requires structure, evidence, and collaboration.
In #GeriatricOncology, #GeriatricAssessment helps clinicians understand health and goals, supporting shared decisions in complex care.

🌐 #WorldCancerDay is approaching.

This year’s theme, #UnitedByUnique, reminds us that cancer is never just a diagnosis. For older adults, care must reflect health, function, context, and personal priorities.

Seeing the person comes first.

What happens after the #SIOGResearchMasterclass?
A project presented by Asst. Prof. Dana Giza was refined through faculty feedback and later submitted for funding. Mentorship continued beyond the course.
This is the impact the Masterclass aims for.

Patient education shapes how older adults & caregivers understand a diagnosis, weigh options, & manage care. But is it designed for real-world complexity? Tomorrow’s #SIOGwebinar explores what exists, what works, and what’s missing

Much of everyday practice is shaped by evidence that doesn’t fully reflect older adults.
The #SIOGResearchMasterclass helps clinicians & researchers question that evidence & strengthen how studies in #GeriatricOncology are designed.

SIOG continues to advance #GeriatricOncology through education, research, and clinical practice that responds to the realities of ageing.

We carry this responsibility with the same commitment that inspired SIOG’s creation 25 years ago.
