Theodora Karnakis, President of the Oncogeriatrics Committee at Brazilian Society of Geriatrics and Gerontology, shared on LinkedIn:
“I am honored and proud to join the Board of Directors of the International Society of Geriatric Oncology (SIOG) for the 2026–2028 term.
Having been part of SIOG for more than 15 years, this appointment is a meaningful milestone in a journey shaped by learning, collaboration, and a shared commitment to improving care for older adults with cancer.
Serving alongside colleagues I deeply admire brings both joy and a strong sense of responsibility. My mission is to help expand the reach of geriatric oncology throughout Latin America, strengthening education and collaboration to advance personalized care that prioritizes autonomy, function, and quality of life.
I am grateful for the trust placed in me and look forward to working with the Board and the wider SIOG community to turn this shared commitment into meaningful progress for older adults with cancer.”
