Founded in 1984, the International Psycho-Oncology Society (IPOS) was created to foster international multidisciplinary communication about clinical, educational and research issues that relate to the subspecialty of psycho-oncology and two primary psychosocial dimensions of cancer:

Response of patients, families and staff to cancer and its treatment at all stages;
Psychological, social and behavioral factors that influence tumor progression and survival.
