Most Patients With Cancer are Older - How Does this Impact their Care?

  • Summary

  • In this PCPA podcast we discuss “Most Patients With Cancer are Older - How Does this Impact their Care?” The conversation explores this specialised field which focuses on the care of older adults with cancer. Since more than 50% of patients will be over 65 years of age in the next few years and as an oncologist treating older patients with cancer, it's crucial to understand the unique challenges and considerations involved in their care . A/Professor Christopher Steer , medical oncologist from Albury/Wodonga and President of the Private Cancer Physicians of Australia is joined by Dr Etienne Brain, MD, PhD, senior medical oncologist at Institut Curie, in Saint-Cloud, France, who was honoured with the 2022 B.J. Kennedy Geriatric Oncology Award for his career-long contributions to advancing clinical research in breast cancer in older populations.
