The problem of the oncogeriatrics is a real challenge for next decades. More than 60% of the patients presenting a cancer in France are more than 65 years old. Indeed, the care services of the old patients affected by cancer require skills of both medical disciplines: geriatrics and oncology. It requires a culture sharing between these two fundamentally transverse specialities. A lot of progresses have to be made, even if this stake has really been considered in our country, in particular because of the implementation of a unique oncogeriatics organization within the French National Cancer Institute (INCA), but also by the structuring of a workgroup within the French Society of Geriatrics and Gerontology.
肿瘤老年医学问题在未来几十年是一项真正的挑战。在法国，超过60%的癌症患者年龄超过65岁。确实，为患癌症的老年患者提供护理服务需要老年医学和肿瘤学这两个医学学科的技能。这需要这两个从根本上相互交叉的专业之间进行文化共享。即便在我国这个问题已得到切实关注，仍有许多工作要做，特别是因为法国国家癌症研究所（INCA）内部设立了独特的肿瘤老年医学机构，而且法国老年医学与老年病学协会也组建了一个工作组。
