Abstract
The Onco Summit 2024: The APAC Chapter took place over 2 days, between 16th and 17th February 2024, in South Korea. The event aimed to provide healthcare professionals with the latest updates in different oncology disciplines and share best practices and strategies to ensure optimal patient care. The Summit aimed to foster international and local collaborations to address challenges, understand the future of oncology, and explore opportunities to improve cancer care, especially in the Asia Pacific region. There were 27 scientific presentations and 10 panel discussions with engaging discussions around recent diagnostic and therapeutic advances in cancer care and associated challenges. More than 150 oncology specialists from 11 countries attended the Summit. The Summit highlighted specific challenges in the Asia Pacific region and discussed transferrable strategies to address some of these challenges. This report aims to present a summary of key discussions from the Summit for the global and Asia Pacific oncology community.
期刊介绍:
Cancer is a very complex disease. While many aspects of carcinoge-nesis and oncogenesis are known, cancer control and prevention at the community level is however still in its infancy. Much more work needs to be done and many more steps need to be taken before effective strategies are developed. The multidisciplinary approaches and efforts to understand and control cancer in an effective and efficient manner, require highly trained scientists in all branches of the cancer sciences, from cellular and molecular aspects to patient care and palliation.
The Asia Pacific Organization for Cancer Prevention (APOCP) and its official publication, the Asia Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention (APJCP), have served the community of cancer scientists very well and intends to continue to serve in this capacity to the best of its abilities. One of the objectives of the APOCP is to provide all relevant and current scientific information on the whole spectrum of cancer sciences. They aim to do this by providing a forum for communication and propagation of original and innovative research findings that have relevance to understanding the etiology, progression, treatment, and survival of patients, through their journal. The APJCP with its distinguished, diverse, and Asia-wide team of editors, reviewers, and readers, ensure the highest standards of research communication within the cancer sciences community across Asia as well as globally.
The APJCP publishes original research results under the following categories:
-Epidemiology, detection and screening.
-Cellular research and bio-markers.
-Identification of bio-targets and agents with novel mechanisms of action.
-Optimal clinical use of existing anti-cancer agents, including combination therapies.
-Radiation and surgery.
-Palliative care.
-Patient adherence, quality of life, satisfaction.
-Health economic evaluations.
