AOS 2010 Post Event Report
The 2nd Asian Oncology Summit 2010 (AOS 2010) was held at the Bali Convention Centre, Indonesia from 9 -11 April 2010.
Over the 3-day summit, AOS 2010 attracted a total of 720 participants, including delegates, faculty members,
media partners and Industry sponsors.

Building on the success of the 2009 summit and with the theme of Optimising Multidisciplinary Cancer Care in
Asia, the 2010 summit continues to encourage activities that offer a valuable contribution to the Asian oncology
community. One such session is a joint plenary symposium by The Lancet Oncology and the Clinical Oncology
Society of Australia, which presented the latest results from clinical trials in the Asia-Pacific region with local
context added to each talk by Asian discussants.
This year’s summit also showcases, for the first time, the Editor’s Choice Poster Awards, which aims to recognise
research in any area of clinical or translational oncology with the potential to improve clinical practice. Ten
presentations were selected from about 90 submissions via a stringent peer-review process involving The Lancet
Oncology and the summit’s faculty, and awards were given to the two deemed to be most clinically relevant.
The second Asian Oncology Summit also featured five parallel sessions over a 3-day conference dedicated to the
different specialties of gastrointestinal, genitourinary, supportive and palliative oncology, thoracic cancer, and
women’s health, collectively highlighting the latest research along with the trends and challenges of cancer
management in Asia.
