Welcome to the 2009 COSA web site!

Registration and abstract submission is now open.

Abstract submission deadline - Friday 7th August 2009
Earlybird registration deadline - Friday 28th August 2009

Following a successful 2008 Annual Scientific Meeting in Sydney, the Clinical Oncological Society of Australia (COSA) will  move to Queensland's Gold Coast for the 2009 conference. The disease focus in 2009 is on brain and lung cancers, and the theme is "The Cancer Journey: Awareness, Access, Action". Awareness of cancer services will be explored from patient, community and medical perspectives. Access to cancer care will be considered in the context of limiting factors such as geographical, cultural, and financial. Awareness and access lead to action in the form of cancer prevention programmes, new developments in diagnosis, and compliance strategies with treatment regimens.

All groups within COSA will have the chance to partake in this learning opportunity, as well as to contribute by disseminating their own experiences.

We hope to see you there - it’s a great forum for all cancer health professionals.
