Live from SIOG 2025 How Is the Journal of Geriatric Oncology Setting the Standards for Aging-Cancer Research? In this @SIOGorg 25th Anniversary Edition interview, we speak with Dr. Supriya Mohile, Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Geriatric Oncology (@JGeriOnc) and Professor at the University of Rochester, New York. Dr. Mohile shares the remarkable evolution of geriatric oncology research over the past two decades, from a field struggling to find a space in major journals to one with a dedicated, high-impact scientific platform shaping global standards of care for older adults with cancer. #OncoDaily #Oncology #Cancer #Health #Medicine #MedTwitter #MedEd #MedOnc #MedNews #SIOG25Years #SIOG25th #SIOG25 #SIOG2025 #GeriatricOncology #Ghent2025 #GeriOnc #OncologyCommunity

Live from SIOG 2025 What’s Next for Geriatric Oncology? Insights from the President of SIOG In this special @SIOGorg 2025 edition, Dr. @GrantWilliamsMD, medical oncologist, geriatrician, and current President of SIOG talks about the future of cancer care in older adults. Dr. Williams reflects on 25 years of progress in geriatric oncology from building the strongest evidence base in the field to establishing evidence-based guidelines that define optimal care for older patients. Yet, despite these advancements, he highlights a growing concern: the widening gap between standard oncology care and recommended geriatric assessment–informed care, with only 10–20% of older adults receiving truly optimized, personalized care. #OncoDaily #Oncology #Cancer #Health #Medicine #MedTwitter #MedEd #MedOnc #MedNews #SIOG25Years #SIOG25th #SIOG25 #SIOG2025 #GeriatricOncology #Ghent2025 #GeriOnc #OncologyCommunity

Geriatric Oncology at @SIOGorg 2025: From Research to Real-World Care At SIOG 2025, the plenary session “Geriatric oncology: from research to clinical practice” highlighted a clear message: geriatric oncology is no longer emerging — it is actively reshaping cancer care around the world. Across presentations from Europe, North America, Asia, and the UK, speakers showed how cancer centers are building structured pathways for older adults, integrating geriatric assessment, and redesigning multidisciplinary decision-making. What stood out: • Real implementation — not theory — is driving progress. • Geriatric assessment is influencing treatment decisions, toxicity management, and communication. • Diverse models work: dedicated clinics, hospital-wide pathways, digital GA tools, and geriatric-integrated ecosystems. • The global challenge is adoption at scale, embedding these models into everyday oncology practice. oncodaily.com/oncolibrary/ge… @Decoster_Lore @KenisCindy @HannekeWal @nicolobattisti @ramsedhom @CEochagain #SIOG25Years #SIOG25th #SIOG25 #SIOG2025 #GeriatricOncology #Ghent2025 #GeriOnc #OncologyCommunity #Cancer #Medicine #Health #Oncology #OncoDaily #MedX #MedNews #MedEd

Geriatric Lung Cancer Care at @SIOGorg 2025 A dedicated roundtable at SIOG 2025 examined the real-world complexities of treating older adults with lung cancer. Through a case-based discussion, experts showed how comorbidities, functional status, and patient priorities influence every step of decision-making. Key insights: • Different specialties often interpret the same case differently. • Missing geriatric assessment can lead to avoidable toxicity and disrupted treatment plans. • Even streamlined geriatric tools can change treatment intensity, dosing, and supportive care needs. • Multidisciplinary input remains essential for safe, individualized care. Take-home message: Improving outcomes in geriatric lung cancer care requires integrating geriatric assessment, strengthening collaboration across specialties, and focusing on the whole patient - not just the tumor. @FabioGomes_Go @Decoster_Lore oncodaily.com/oncolibrary/ge… #OncoDaily #Oncology #Cancer #Health #Medicine #MedTwitter #MedEd #MedOnc #MedNews #SIOG25Years #SIOG25th #SIOG25 #SIOG2025 #GeriatricOncology #Ghent2025 #GeriOnc #OncologyCommunity

From Canada to Netherlands to India, this week was all about how the world delivers geriatric oncology + palliative care @SIOGorg in Belgium!
I also shared our LIFE study on functional status in advanced HCC—spotlighting key differences by age. Grateful for the journey.
