Learn what past Treviso students have shared regarding their participation in our advanced course:

Multidisciplinary Collaboration and Clinical Impact

“I will be able to use the things I have learned in my daily practice as a medical oncologist, frequently handling older patients with cancer, from CGA to managing the toxicity of treatment. I will also be able to contribute to our weekly multidisciplinary team meeting for the geriatric cancer cases.”

Confidence and Knowledge in Oncogeriatrics

“With the knowledge acquired, mainly in the area of geriatrics, I will become more conscientious in therapeutic decisions for elderly patients. Spread the culture of oncogeriatrics through local classes and meetings to discuss cases. Start collecting patient data from daily practice and clinical research.”

Service Expansion and Protocol Development

“As I want to expand my service of geriatric oncology in my hospital, I have more tools to convince my colleagues that the geriatric assessment is important and has an impact on many aspects of cancer treatment.”

Holistic Approach to Patient Care

“Taking the time necessary to evaluate the elderly patient not only from an oncological but also a geriatric point of view and trying to develop an intervention plan depending on the deficits that have been highlighted.”

Confidence in Interdisciplinary Collaboration

“I feel more confident identifying, documenting, and making referrals/some basic interventions for patients who I recognize as having a geriatric syndrome.”
