Article Synopsis
- Despite evidence supporting comprehensive oncogeriatric assessments for older cancer patients, specialized programs are underutilized in the UK due to a lack of detailed clinic structures and patient data.
- A study at the Royal Marsden Hospital screened 244 patients using the SAOP3 tool to identify geriatric impairments and factors influencing resource utilization.
- Results showed a median participant age of 77, with a high prevalence of geriatric impairments (86.5%), predominantly among those undergoing palliative treatment, highlighting the need for improved multidisciplinary referrals in geriatric oncology.
