Monaco Age Oncologie

The Monaco Age Oncologie (Monaco Age Oncology conference in English) is a congress which takes place every two years and is intended for oncologists and geriatrists with the aim to promote the awareness and discussion about medical and clinical care of elderly cancer patients.

History
The inception of the Monaco Age Oncologie is rooted in the French congress Biennale Monégasque de Cancérologie which also takes place biennially since 1994 in the Principality of Monaco. Michel Hery initiated the congress in 2007 with the aim of creating a platform where oncologists specializing in various pathologies can meet with geriatricians and share their mutual discoveries and experiences in order to make progress in the knowledge of the disease and its therapies. Since the 5th edition of the congress, an honorary award, the Michel Hery Prize has been created to reward notable researchers in the field. Currently, Gilles Freyer is the president of the organizing committee.
