Ichrak Charfi, Physicaian-Member of the Nutrition Commitee at AWGHO (African Alliance for Women’s Global Health in Oncology), shared on LinkedIn:
“SIOG – International Society of Geriatric Oncology 2026 | ‘A Global call to action: from vision to impact in Geriatric Oncology’
Participating in the 2026 meeting of the International Society of Geriatric Oncology (SIOG) was an important opportunity for scientific exchange, international networking and engagement with a global community committed to improving cancer care for older adults.
This year’s call to action highlights a major challenge: translating scientific evidence into sustainable clinical practice across different healthcare systems.
For Tunisia, this ambition is particularly relevant. The development of geriatrics and the growing interest in oncogeriatrics offer important opportunities to strengthen multidisciplinary care pathways.
I was particularly pleased to join the SIOG Geriatrics Interest Group and SIOG Surgical and Perioperative Optimization Collaborative (SPOC), opening new perspectives for scientific exchange and international collaboration.
A pleasure to meet colleagues who share the same vision: person-centered care guided by the goals and priorities of older adults with cancer.”
