COSA is proud to announce that the 42nd ASM will be held in Hobart at the Grand Chancellor Hotel.
Our theme for 2015 is “Rare cancers – Common goals”.
A rare cancer is defined as a cancer type found in less than 6 per 100,000 Australians per year, and less common cancers found in between 6 and 12 per 100,000. With almost 125,000 cases of cancer being diagnosed in Australia each year, and 42,000 Australians diagnosed with a rare or less common cancers, making up about 30% of all diagnoses in a year (sounding less rare and more common).
