Nevada Oncology Society (NOS)

The Nevada Oncology Society (NOS) is a powerful community of oncologists, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and other allied health professionals who provide a voice for multidisciplinary cancer care teams and the patients they serve.

Founded in 1993, NOS is the largest oncology professional organization in the state. Members rely on us to provide innovative resources to help them stay ahead of the shifting healthcare landscape and challenges that directly impact the high-quality care their patients deserve—both locally and on a national level.

To carry out their mission, they strive to:
• Identify and improve oncology practice issues that adversely affect patient access to cancer care;
• Act as a patient advocate to assure that patients have access to the best available care;
• Support and encourage clinical research against cancer;
• Facilitate the development and use of new cancer management techniques in the community;
• Provide effective representation of the oncology field for its members and the public;
• Foster effective communication that enhances access to scientific, socioeconomic, research, and other relevant data; and
• Promote collegial relationships among oncologists in the state of Nevada.
