Aging and cancer - addressing a nation's challenge.

The incidence of cancer will increase dramatically among elderly people in the 21st century. The first French National Cancer Plan (2003-2006) with the French Ministry of Health supported the creation of 15 pilot coordination units in oncogeriatrics (UPCOG) in 13 out of the 27 French regions. The second French National Cancer Plan (2009-2013) continues to support oncogeriatrics.
