London Global Cancer Week: Putting the Older Patients First, Session by SIOG
VENUE: The Royal Marsden Education and Conference Centre, London SW3 6JJ
Over two-thirds of deaths in the world are from cancer and around half are in patients >70 years. Possible factors include the increase in population and the fact that cancer is a disease of ageing. However, both globally and in the UK, we do not appear to have an integrated approach to care for older people with cancers. This session will look at the challenges and opportunities on how we could do better, from the perspectives of both the healthcare professional and the patient.
This session is aimed at healthcare professionals, academics, policymakers, private sector companies, cancer centres and charities in the global and UK communities.
