Overview
As cancer care meets an ageing population, the need for smarter, more personalised approaches has never been greater. This focused hybrid event brings together leading voices in the care of older adults with cancer to explore the latest evidence-based strategies for assessment, decision-making and care planning.
You will hear from clinicians, researchers and specialists working at the forefront of Senior Adult Oncology and frailty. Sessions will explore how services can be developed or adapted to meet the needs of older patients, offering practical insights that can be applied directly to clinical practice.
Through presentations, case discussions and expert Q&A, you will gain a deeper understanding of how to navigate the complexities of frailty, comorbidity, personalised care and holistic assessment—ultimately improving outcomes for older adults living with cancer.
