The International Society of Geriatric Oncology (SIOG) is a platform to discuss and promote all aspects of science and care for elderly patients with cancer. The biology of aging and cancer are covered, as well as epidemiology, new medical, surgical and radiological treatment modalities, nursing aspects, quality of life and palliative care. This year’s annual conference of SIOG took place in The Hague. Hans Wildiers from Leuven, Belgium, and a group of ten internationally recognized authorities in the field of geriatric oncology had put together a scientifically ambitious program. This included 51 lectures, including six in a specialized nursing session, and 50 posters, 14 of which were selected for oral presentation. Approximately 250 attendees from all over the world took part, including medical oncologists, surgical oncologists, geriatricians, radiotherapists and cancer nurses. Within the meeting, they were able to get an educational program, a presentation of the upcoming guidelines and could discuss the latest scientific development in the field of geriatric oncology. SIOG has established specific taskforces to put together guidelines for elderly cancer patients (BOX 1).
