The COSA Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM) is Australia’s premier cancer meeting, held over three days each year, usually in November. The ASM is a multidisciplinary meeting, inviting participation from doctors, nurses, allied health professionals and scientists working in cancer care nationally and internationally. A different state hosts the ASM each year, with a specific theme and focus on a cancer type. Video recordings are available for COSA members to view on request for some meetings.
