#SymptomScience and #SupportiveOncology communities are strong, thanks to my superb colleagues like @crisbergerot, @WilmotCancer #KarenMustian, and of course our remarkable @myCARG #gerionc patient advocate Beverly Canin, who is receiving the #ASCO26 patient advocate award for her tireless service to advance the care of older adults with #cancer.

[Melody Schiaffino (she/ella) @DrSchiaffino]

One of the most active and passionate patient advocates that has enriched the scientific community with her time, expertise, and love, congratulations Beverly ❤️ @myCARG #ASCO26

[Dr Joseph McCollom DO @realbowtiedoc]

Dr @WilliamDale_MD describes an interesting fact. For the first time in #US 🇺🇸 history #olderadults outnumber children <5 yo. The population of 65+ and 80+ with #cancer are only going to keep growing #gerionc

[Cristiane D Bergerot, PhD, FASCO @crisbergerot]

Outstanding talk by @WilliamDale_MD on aligning cancer care with what truly matters @PallOncCoP
Key message:
We shouldn’t just ask “Will this extend life?”
But “Will this improve the life being lived?”

@realbowtiedoc @myCARG @IshwariaMD @DarcyBurbage @jillfeldman4 @JamesFanWu

[Cristiane D Bergerot, PhD, FASCO @crisbergerot]

Predicting chemo toxicity in older adults shouldn’t be guesswork
Tools like the MyCARG calculator help estimate risk (20% → 80%+), guiding safer, more personalized decisions
@WilliamDale_MD: this is how we move beyond the "eyeball test" @PallOncCoP

@realbowtiedoc @myCARG

[June M @DrJuneJD]

Thanks for underscoring the importance of using validated tools to assess chemo administration in older adults @myCARG @DrJuneJD

[Cristiane D Bergerot, PhD, FASCO @crisbergerot]

So grateful for 3 intensive days @SIOGorg Masterclass
I had the honor of speaking about clinical research in low-resource settings and highlighting key resources like the @ASCO guidelines

Incredibly inspiring discussions on how we can make research more feasible and impactful

[Cristiane D Bergerot, PhD, FASCO @crisbergerot]

A few highlights from an outstanding @SIOGorg Masterclass 🧵

🔹 @WilliamDale_MD – an amazing session on funding and writing grants for clinical trials. Practical, honest, and empowering.

🔹 @SupriyaMohile – thoughtful discussion on measuring tolerability in geriatric oncology

[Cristiane D Bergerot, PhD, FASCO @crisbergerot]

More takeaways that will stay w me @SIOGorg

🔹 @melissalow inspiring talk on integrating patients into GO research

🔹 @vani_katheria excellent insights on optimizing clinical trial performance

🔹 @GrantWilliamsMD powerful reminder of why we need trials designed 4 older adults

[International Society of Geriatric Oncology (SIOG) @SIOGorg]

👀 Deadline approaching.
Thinking about the #SIOGAdvancedCourse 2026? Now’s the moment to decide.
Three days of real cases, multidisciplinary exchange, and practical insights for #GeriOnc.
Apply by 15 April: https://t.co/IaiHyWTeYO
