title: Summary of the 15th annual Atlantic Canada Oncology Group Symposium.
abstract: The Atlantic Canada Oncology Group (ACOG) Symposium is an annual meeting. For the first 8 years it was held in Cornerbrook (NL, Canada) and for the last 7 years it has been held in Prince Edward Island (Canada). The target audience are medical and radiation oncologists from across the Atlantic Canadian provinces, but surgical oncologists, gynecologists, nurses, pharmacists, researchers, residents and other healthcare providers who work in oncology also benefit from the content presented at this meeting. The primary learning objectives are to promote cooperation among cancer programs in Atlantic Canada and to improve the quality of patients' cancer care. Each year the meeting focuses on specific tumor sites, as well as other time sensitive topics. This year's meeting focused on the management of genitourinary and gastrointestinal malignancies.
