Abstract:
In 1992, the American Oncology Nursing Society produced a state-of-the-art document, recognizing the fact that cancer is primarily a disease of ageing and addressing the specific needs of elderly cancer patients. As 1993 has been dubbed the 'Year of the Elderly', European oncology nurses should also be establishing a framework to meet the cancer-specific needs of the elderly.
