The Singapore Society on Oncology (SSO), founded in 1981,
is a professional medical organization for all Singapore healthcare
professionals who treat and manage cancer patients. The aim
of the SSO is to provide an active platform to promote the
practice of oncology through education, research, collaborations
and partnerships with allied local, regional and international
organizations. The SSO is committed to providing CME and other
opportunities for our cancer medical and nursing specialist
community to further enhance their knowledge, skills and expertise
in the rapidly changing practice of oncology. Where relevant
or necessary, the SSO will also represent the views of the
Society and its members in public forums and debate.
President's Statement:
Dear Members,
Welcome to the Singapore Society of Oncology (SSO) website. SSO is a
leading
professional organization representing medical oncologists, radiation
oncologists, surgical oncologists and healthcare professionals involved
in
cancer care in Singapore. The Society focuses on a multidisciplinary
approach to treatment and aims to unite all members involved in the care
of
cancer patients in a national alliance. We strive to meet the needs of
our
fellow colleagues in oncology by offering high quality scientific
educational and professional educational lectures and to enhance
cross-disciplinary interaction through multi-disciplinary meetings. In
addition, SSO also serves to improve interaction and collaboration
between
oncologists from the regions through the organization of regional forums
such as the SSO-MOS (Malaysia Oncology Society) scientific retreat and
the
Singapore-Indonesia oncology forum.
2007-2008 will be exciting for SSO. In addition to the many CME
programs, we
will also be holding our first international lung oncology meeting here
in
Singapore, co-organizing an international urological fair and conducting
our
second oncology review course. With so many activities planned for the
coming months, I strongly urge all members to visit our website
regularly to
keep themselves updated of the events.
SSO is committed to serving your professional needs and we welcome all
feedback. Do feel free to use this website to communicate your needs and
views with us.
Finally, we thank you for the continual support that you have given to
SSO
and we hope to see you at the various events organized by SSO throughout
the
rest of the year.
Dr Lim Soon Thye
President, Singapore Society of Oncology 2006-2007
