MISSION
Geriatric oncologists have two main challenges: (I) selecting patients for specific treatments and (II) the delicate balance of prolonging their survival, whilst maintaining independence and quality of life. Since elderly patients are underrepresented in cancer clinical trials, it is hard to have evidence-based recommendations in everyday clinical practice. The Group conducts elderly-specific clinical research to meet these two challenges.
