Etablir un diagnostic précoce, définir une stratégie adaptée et offrir une meilleure qualité de vie chez le sujet âgé atteint de cancer constituent les défis de l'Oncologie de ce début de siècle. Cet ouvrage a pour objectif de proposer aux médecins et aux étudiants un condensé des différents aspects de l'oncologie sur le sujet âgé. Dans une première partie, les aspects épidémiologiques et biologiques ainsi que l'évaluation gériatrique multiparamétrique sont abordés. Les particularités de l'application de la chimiothérapie, de la radiothérapie et de la chirurgie au sujet âgé sont passées en rev

The management of the older person with cancer is based on the estimate of life expectancy, tolerance of treatment, patient preference, and socio-economic barriers to treatment. The thrust of this book is to make medical oncologists and other health professionals managing older patients with cancer aware of recent developments in geriatric assessment and in cancer management for the older adult. After consulting this text the practitioner will be able to provide individualized treatment to the older cancer patient, reflecting that patient's physiologic age and personal needs. This book will also provide a scaffold to organize rapidly developing advances in geriatric assessment. This is particularly relevant for oncologists since the majority of patients with cancer are 65 and older. The target audiences for this book are oncologists of all specialties, oncology nurses, primary care physicians, geriatricians, and all other health professionals involved in the management of older patients with cancer.

Biological Basis of Geriatric Oncology highlights research issues that are specific to geriatric oncology in the field of carcinogenesis and cancer prevention and treatment, based on the biologic interactions of cancer and age. It illustrates the benefit of the principles of geriatrics in the management of cancer in the older individual. This volume provides a frame of reference for practicioners of any specialties involved in the management of older patients and for oncologists involved in the management of cancer of older individuals. It is a source for basic and clinical scientists exploring the interactions and emerging information of cancer and aging.
