Enrique Soto shared on X:

“Our ASCO Educational Book manuscript on a 5-year strategic plan for geriatric oncology is now online for free!

Looking forward to discussing this at the Geriatric Oncology Community of Practice meeting at ASCO24.
Sat June 1st, 7:30 AM in Room E253d.

In this manuscript, led by the brilliant Fernando Diaz, we propose a plan for geriatric oncology development that mirrors ASCO’s 5-year strategic plan.

We are looking forward to discussing this with our entire community in ASCO24!”
