Cancer and cancer treatment is different in older people and oncologists have to deal with age-related changes in organ function, co-morbidities and geriatric syndromes. Edited by key opinion leaders from the European Society of Medical Oncology (ESMO) and the International Society of Geriatric Oncology (SIOG), this handbook provides a state-of-the-art overview for medical and geriatric oncologists and will help them care for the older patient in the most effective way.
