COSA’s Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM) is Australia’s premier cancer meeting, held each year in November. The ASM is a multidisciplinary meeting with participation from all professional groups involved in cancer care, including medical, surgical, radiation, nursing, pharmacy, research, psychology and other disciplines to discuss and present the latest updates in cancer diagnosis, treatment, research and supportive care. There is also a strong consumer focus to each ASM with increasing participation from consumers. A consumer forum is generally held immediately prior to the ASM.
