The recent publication of the GAP70+ study in The Lancet is an important step in the field of geriatric oncology. This study shows that combining a geriatric assessment with oncologic and geriatric management recommendations has the potential to decrease toxicity. We discuss the implications of the study, performed in the United States, for clinical practice and future research in the Netherlands. The results of the GAP70+ study are promising, and the study has landmark potential. Although there are relevant differences in oncologic care between the Netherlands and the United states, this study provides new opportunities for expanding and improving geriatric oncology care.
《柳叶刀》杂志近期发表的GAP70+研究是老年肿瘤学领域的重要一步。该研究表明，将老年评估与肿瘤学及老年管理建议相结合有可能降低毒性。我们讨论了这项在美国开展的研究对荷兰临床实践和未来研究的影响。GAP70+研究的结果很有前景，该研究具有里程碑意义。尽管荷兰和美国在肿瘤治疗方面存在相关差异，但这项研究为扩大和改善老年肿瘤治疗提供了新机会。
