- DBS Think Tank IX took place from August 25-27, 2021, in Orlando, FL, featuring both in-person U.S. attendees and international participants joining via video conferencing.
- Founded in 2012, the Think Tank serves as a collaborative space for clinicians, engineers, and researchers to discuss advancements in deep brain stimulation (DBS) technologies and address related logistical and ethical challenges.
- This year's meeting highlighted the growing application of DBS across various brain disorders, estimating over 230,000 devices implanted globally, with special focus areas including neuromodulation strategies, innovative technologies, neuroethics, and specific applications for pain, epilepsy, and traumatic brain injuries.
Background: Older adults receiving cancer therapy have heightened risk for treatment-related toxicity. Geriatric assessment (GA) can identify impairments, which may contribute to vulnerability and adverse outcomes. GA management interventions can address these impairments and have the potential to improve outcomes when implemented.
