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.

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

🌐 #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.

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.
