As I continue my dual training in oncology and geriatric medicine in Australia, it is evident the many barriers but also enablers to this. We must not stop trying @COSAoncology @anzsgm
Which leads us to the all-important question…“Why Is #GeriatricAssessments so Infrequently Used in Oncology Practices? The Ongoing Issue of Nonadherence to This Standard of Care for #OlderAdults With #Cancer” https://t.co/xaalIVqiY9

The power of a Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment for older adult patients in any setting including cancer
CGA has a NNT = 9 for admission avoidance and 30 for avoiding long term care; but also 8 for avoidance of treatment toxicity for patients with cancer. A signal CGA can be used effectively across healthcare pathways. #BGSconf

What a dream to share my “Viray-CGA” (my cancer-specific CGA for pragmatic use in an Australian setting) with international geriatrics legend Prof Rockwood @Krockdoc #gerionc #geriatrics #oncology #ANZSGM2023 @YoungSIOG
