• FOUNDED 2007

Overview

COSA members formed the Geriatric Oncology Group in 2007 to improve outcomes for older people affected by cancer. The Group brings together members from across Australia with this shared interest, a collectively strong knowledge, and a multidisciplinary perspective. The Group has expertise in evidence-based solutions in the delivery of cancer treatment and care that will make a difference in geriatric oncology outcomes.

The COSA Geriatric Oncology Group aims to improve outcomes for older adults affected by cancer through education, support for clinical practice, research and advocacy.
