Geriatric education retreats in oncology aim to integrate geriatrics into cancer care for older adults. This initiative encourages further research and clinical training in aging and cancer issues.

Area of Science:

  • Geriatric Medicine
  • Oncology
  • Cancer in Older Adults

Background:

  • A 1997 geriatric education retreat in oncology was convened.
  • The primary goal was to develop a plan for integrating geriatrics into oncology.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess methods for incorporating geriatrics into oncology training.
  • To address the specific needs of older adults with cancer.

Main Methods:

  • A group of 42 geriatricians and medical oncologists participated.
  • Presentations covered basic science and clinical aspects of cancer in older persons.
  • Geriatric aspects of aging were also discussed.

Main Results:

  • The review encouraged collaboration between geriatrics and oncology.
