Synopsis :

The prevention and the treatment of cancer in an older patient require an individualized approach, taking account of the multidimensional changes caused by age and the consequently very different behaviour of the various cancers in an aged tumor host. The second edition of this groundbreaking textbook has been updated and revised throughout, and will enable clinicians to choose the best possible cancer care; to promote cancer prevention; and to highlight the newly emerging issues in and to present a research agenda for geriatric oncology. New chapters contain material on such topics as assessment, fragility, symptom management, emergencies, and training programs.

Présentation de l'éditeur: The prevention and treatment of cancer in older patients requires an individualized approach, as age causes unpredictable results from patient to patient. Completely revised and updated, the Second Edition of Comprehensive Geriatric Oncology enables clinicians to choose the best possible cancer care. Highlighting newly emerging issues in geriatric oncology, it helps physicians promote cancer prevention. Like its groundbreaking, bestselling predecessor, this new edition exhaustively reviews the biology of cancer and aging, epidemiologic trends, and clinical trials that concern cancer prevention and treatment in the elderly.

New chapters contain material on topics such as assessment, fragility, symptom management, and emergencies, and studies the effectiveness of training programs in geriatric oncology. The book addresses issues of healthcare delivery, including cost and evaluation of utility and outcome, suggests new research approaches, reviews existing guidelines for the prevention and treatment of cancer in the elderly, and more. Providing a frame of reference for the ongoing dialogue in the field of geriatric oncology, this is a major reference work for basic, population, and clinical scientists interested in the issue and for practices ministering to older patients.
