The value of geriatric assessments The ASCO guideline for Geriatric Oncology recommends submitting older patients with cancer to a geriatric assessment. Although we recognise the importance of awareness of geriatric problems in older patients with cancer, this approach where two different doctors are treating the same patient is not ideal for several reasons. We therefore recommend educating medical oncologists on geriatric problems, aging and different treatment goals.
老年评估的价值 美国临床肿瘤学会（ASCO）老年肿瘤学指南建议对老年癌症患者进行老年评估。尽管我们认识到老年癌症患者了解老年问题的重要性，但由两位不同医生治疗同一名患者的这种方法由于多种原因并不理想。因此，我们建议对肿瘤内科医生进行有关老年问题、衰老及不同治疗目标方面的培训。
