19th World Congress
of Psycho-Oncology
»Cancer throughout the Lifespan – addressing the psychosocial
needs of diverse populations« is our congress theme. The congress will focus on
specific symptom burden, distress and psychosocial care needs throughout the
lifespan from children and young adults to the elderly with cancer and the
needs of diverse cancer populations.
The International Psycho-Oncology Society (IPOS) was founded
in 1984 to foster international multidisciplinary communication about clinical,
educational and research issues that relate to the subspecialty of
psycho-oncology. The society sought to provide leadership and development of
standards for education and research on the psychological, social and spiritual
factors that affect the quality of life of cancer patients and their loved
ones, and that influence tumor progression and survival. The aims of IPOS have
been to foster training, encourage psychosocial principles and a humanistic
approach in cancer care, and to stimulate research and develop training so
psychosocial care may be integrated with all clinical oncologic specialties for
optimal patient care.
