The ASM is fast approaching! 

The 2008 COSA ASM in Sydney in November aims to be the biggest and best ever.
This year we will see COSA join with two partner organisations: the International Association of Cancer Registries (IACR) and the Australia and New Zealand Gastric Oesophageal Surgery Association (ANZGOSA).

The ASM will run from Tuesday 18 November to Thursday 20 November, with a number of satellite seminars on both the Monday 17 November and Friday 21 November. The program is centered around the daily themes of Oesophageal and Gastric cancers; Melanoma and non-Melanoma skin cancers (with the launch of the new national guidelines); and "Information in, Information out" (with topical sessions such as "What is included in a cancer centre?"). We have confirmed a number of international guest speakers to complement our local and national speakers, including:


  • Dr Peter Boyle- Head of the International Agency for Research on Cancer 
  • Dr Takeshi Sano- Well respected Upper GI surgeon from Japan 
  • Dr Derek Alderson- Internationally recognised Upper GI surgeon with an interest in quality of life in Upper GI cancers 
  • Dr Charles Balch- International expert on melanoma 
  • Dr Carolyn Messner- Cancer Care New York- international speaker from social work group 
  • Dr Jonathan Lederman- Gynaecological Oncologist and many more.

Each session will  be truly multidisciplinary and of broad appeal to all COSA members, with speakers from a wide spectrum of COSA groups. We are highlighting the posters, which will change each day, with the best featured in a poster discussion session each afternoon tea. The best abstracts will be chosen to be presented as orals, with our "Best of the Best" being showcased on the final day. The meeting will end with a high profile moderator leading a debate on a hot topic of interest to us all!
