    The disproportionate burden of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) in diverse older adults diagnosed with cancer - 8 month(s) ago

    Older adults living with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD) who are then diagnosed with cancer are an understudied population. While the role of cognitive impairment during and after cancer treatment have been well-studied, less is understood about patients who are living with ADRD and then develop cancer. The purpose of this study is to contribute evidence about our understanding of this vulnerable population.

    Development and testing of the Outcome Prioritization Tool adjusted to older patients with cancer: A pilot study - 8 month(s) ago

    In older patients with cancer, the balance between harms and benefits of treatment is delicate. There is a higher risk of adverse outcomes of cancer treatment due to comorbidity and geriatric impairments, while clinical benefit is uncertain due to their frequent exclusion in clinical trials [1,2]. Potential benefits of treatment (for example, increased survival) may come at a cost (for example, increased treatment side-effects or loss of function). As a result, treatment decisions are often preference sensitive, which means that the optimal treatment choice depends on a patient’s personal values and priorities [3].

    Implementing geriatric assessment and management for older Canadians with cancer: Adherence to and satisfaction with the intervention, results of the 5C study - 8 month(s) ago

    Geriatric assessment and management (GAM) is recommended by professional organizations and recently several randomized controlled trials (RCTs) demonstrated benefits in multiple health outcomes. GAM typically leads to one or more recommendations for the older adult on how to optimize their health. However, little is known about how well recommendations are adhered to. Understanding these issues is vital to designing GAM trials and clinical programs. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the number of GAM recommendations made and adherence to and satisfaction with the intervention in a multicentre RCT of GAM for older adults with cancer.

    Challenges of caring for older patients with multimorbidity including cancer - 8 month(s) ago

    As the population is ageing, the number of older patients with multimorbidity including cancer continues to increase. To improve care for these patients, the European Union-funded project “Streamlined Geriatric and Oncological evaluation based on IC Technology” (GERONTE) was initiated to develop a new, patient-centred, holistic care pathway. The aim of this paper is to analyse what challenges are encountered in everyday clinical practice according to patients, their informal caregivers, and healthcare professionals as a starting point for the development of the care pathway.
