Cancers currently affect one third of people over the age of 75. According to the French Health Watch Institute, by 2050, 50% of cancers will affect this category of the population. The difficult of treating elderly people is that the initial symptoms are not always obvious: anorexia, asthenia, irregular bowel movements, etc. The nurse coordinator in geriatric oncology provides specific care to elderly people with cancer.
