Geriatric oncology focuses on managing older cancer patients using comprehensive geriatric assessment. This approach helps guide cancer treatment and manage complex health issues in frail elderly individuals.

Area of Science:

  • Geriatric oncology
  • Oncology
  • Geriatrics

Context:

  • Management of older cancer patients presents unique challenges due to complex, interacting medical problems in frail individuals.
  • The comprehensive geriatric assessment is a validated procedure for evaluating and managing these complex health issues.
  • Geriatric assessment in elderly cancer patients is a key topic of discussion within the geriatric oncology community.

Purpose:

  • To define the most relevant geriatric variables for conducting clinical trials in heterogeneous elderly cancer populations.
  • To develop and validate a specific tool for screening frail and vulnerable older patients.
  • To study the impact of geriatric assessment on the quality of life for older cancer patients.

Summary:

  • Geriatric oncology is an emerging specialty focused on the management of older adults with cancer.
