Welcome to IPOS!
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: 1) Response of patients, families and staff to cancer and its treatment at all stages; 2) Psychological, social and behavioral factors that influence tumor progression and survival.

Distress may soon be universally ranked as the 6th vital sign in cancer care, following the Union of International Cancer Control’s (UICC) endorsement 
of the IPOS recommendation that cancer care standards and clinical practice guidelines be revised. See the standards of care news page for details on endorsing the IPOS standard. Click here to see all the organizations that already have endorsed it.
