How Can Healthcare Systems Adapt to the Needs of an Aging Population with Cancer?
Healthcare systems need to evolve to meet the growing demand for cancer care in an aging population. This includes training more geriatric oncologists and integrating geriatric assessment into cancer care planning. Multidisciplinary teams that include oncologists, geriatrics specialists, nurses, and social workers can provide comprehensive care tailored to the unique needs of older adults. Additionally, research focused on cancer in the elderly can inform better treatment protocols and improve outcomes.
