“SIOG 2026 – A remarkable scientific and human experience in Valencia!
Participating in SIOG 2026 has been an enriching and truly memorable experience, both scientifically and professionally.
I was honoured to contribute to two important scientific sessions:
ASCO – SIOG Joint Session: Implementing the ASCO Global Guideline for Geriatric Assessment in Oncology, where I had the opportunity to present and exchange perspectives alongside Enrique Soto Pérez de Celis and Theodora Karnakis.
An inspiring discussion on translating geriatric assessment into meaningful clinical practice across different healthcare settings.
MDT: Cervical Cancer in Low- and Middle-Income Countries: A valuable opportunity to present a clinical case and engage in multidisciplinary discussions with Azza Chabchoub, Mukul Roy and Joyita Banerjee, highlighting the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration and equitable cancer care, particularly for vulnerable older patients.
I was also honoured to co-chair the session ‘Challenges in Healthcare for Older Adults’, sharing the discussion with inspiring colleagues and contributing to conversations on the future of healthcare for older people.
Beyond the scientific programme, SIOG 2026 was also an opportunity to build meaningful connections, exchange experiences and strengthen our shared commitment to advancing geriatric oncology worldwide.
My sincere thanks to SIOG, the scientific and organizing committees, and everyone who contributed to making this congress such a success.
Coming from Tunisia, I am proud to contribute to this international community and to advocate for more inclusive, accessible and age-friendly cancer care.
The journey continues, and so does the work!”
