IPOS
Founded in 1984, the International Psycho-Oncology Society (IPOS) was created to foster international multidisciplinary communication about clinical, educational and research issues that relate to the subspecialty of psycho-oncology and two primary psychosocial dimensions of cancer:
1) Response of patients, families and staff to cancer and its treatment at all stages;
2) Psychological, social and behavioral factors that influence tumor progression and survival.
Membership is open to individuals with a diversity of clinical and research backgrounds. These include, but are not limited to, physicians, social workers, nurses, psychologists, rehabilitation specialists, epidemiologists, social scientists, and educators. Through individual memberships and its Federation, IPOS includes and serves over 5,000 professionals in more than 40 countries.
IPOS holds the World Congress of Psycho-Oncology every year at a different location around the world. The Congress usually offers three days of symposia, podium presentations and posters addressing a variety of disciplines within psychosocial oncology. The Congress is held in conjunction with the Psychosocial Academy, which offers two days of training workshops and presentations. The 13th World Congress of Psycho-Oncology will be held in Antalya, Turkey, 16-20 October 2011.
