The Philippine Society of Medical Oncology (PSMO) is a scientific, professional non-profit organization of board certified medical oncologists(doctors specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer) that aims to advance the science and the ethical and holistic practice of cancer care in the Philippines. We have been in existence since 1969, and presently with a membership of 206 fellows.
Pursuant to these goals, one of our organization's special projects is the 'Cancer Fair' highlighting hte theme "Life Despite Cancer".
The past cancer fairs they had(in 2001, 2003, 2006 and 2009), drew participation from a wide range of companies dealing with food and nutrition, beauty products, wigs, hotels and others. The Fair proved to be a joyous occasion for everyone. The event is indeed a very special day because patients, their loved ones and their doctors, while playing games, expressing their care free side of life, away from the usual concerns about their disease. This year, PSMO is again holding its 5th Cancer Fair this Sunday October 12, 2014 at the Henry Noble Gymnasium, Trinity University of Asia. They will be inviting cancer patients, their families and caregivers. The objective of the event is to give the patients a day of fun in the midst of what is presumably a difficult situation. PSMO will be expecting around 500 participants, family and members, caregivers, health workers and medical practitioners to attend the event.
