Miami Cancer Institute Multispecialty Grand Rounds: Care of the Older Adult with Cancer – An Issue in Health Equity

February 12, 2024

Cancer is mainly a disease of older adults. Unfortunately, older adults are underrepresented in clinical trials and have different needs than younger patients. Oncology practitioners need to be attentive to better understand how to care for the older adult, trials targeted to older adults with comorbidity, and health systems should support multidisciplinary teams to offer the best care possible.

 

Target Audience

Oncologists, Radiation Oncologists, Hematology Oncologists, Radiation Therapists, Endocrinologists, Pulmonologists, Otolaryngologists,  General Surgeons, General Practitioners, Obstetricians and Gynecologists, Nurses, Social Workers, Patient Navigators and all other interested healthcare professionals.

Learning Objectives

  • Describe the epidemiologic changes in people who are diagnosed and living with cancer. 
  • Analyze data on the treatment of older adults with cancer.
  • Implement changes to meet the unmet needs of older adult cancer patients.
