This article summarizes the evolution of gero-oncology nursing and highlights key educational initiatives, clinical practice issues, and research areas to enhance care of older adults with cancer.
Peer-reviewed literature, position statements, clinical practice guidelines, Web-based materials, and professional organizations' resources.
Globally, the older adult cancer population is rapidly growing. The care of older adults with cancer requires an understanding of their diverse needs and the intersection of cancer and aging. Despite efforts to enhance competence in gero-oncology and to develop a body of evidence, nurses and health care systems remain under-prepared to provide high-quality care for older adults with cancer.
Nurses must take a leadership role in integrating gerontological principles into oncology settings. Working closely with interdisciplinary team members, nurses should utilize available resources and continue to build evidence through gero-oncology nursing research.

在全球范围内,老年癌症患者群体正在迅速增长。护理老年癌症患者需要了解他们的多样化需求以及癌症与衰老的交叉情况。尽管努力提高老年肿瘤学方面的能力并积累了一定的证据,但护士和医疗保健系统在为老年癌症患者提供高质量护理方面仍准备不足。
护士必须在将老年医学原则融入肿瘤学环境中发挥领导作用。护士应与跨学科团队成员密切合作,利用现有资源,并通过老年肿瘤护理研究不断积累证据。
