Older Adults & Cancer Webinar
By 2035 over half of all cancers diagnosed will be in people over 75. There is a plethora of evidence which shows that older people are more likely to have one or more of the following challenges: co-morbidities, polypharmacy, added social support needs, poor nutritional status, a risk of falls and mental health concerns.
However, in oncology, despite the over 65’s accounting for the largest amount of patients, and more likely to have additional problems, it is acknowledged that there is a paucity of research looking at how systemic anti-cancer therapy (SACT) affects the elderly, and specifically comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) in oncology clinics, where decisions regarding SACT and fitness for treatment are made.
This Macmillan funded 2-year project specifically looked at frailty in the over 65's and whether CGA and increased support in this population, could reduce the amount of toxicities, reduce admissions and increase quality of life.
We welcome Rachel Bryce & Hannah Lakeman from University Hospitals Plymouth who are delighted to be able to now share the results this work
South West Radiotherapy Late Effects Service
While cancer survival rates continue to improve, a significant proportion of patients experience long-term side effects from treatments following radiotherapy. These late effects – such as bowel and bladder issues, fatigue, and pain – pose a significant challenge for cancer survivors, often resulting in long-term physical and emotional difficulties that impact their quality of life.
We welcome Dr Lisa Durrant who will talk about the Southwest Radiotherapy Late Effects Service (SWRLES) which was launched as a two-year pilot, funded by Macmillan Cancer Support and supported by the SWAG Cancer Alliance. The SWRLES aim is to support people living with long term effects caused by radiotherapy treatment to have prompt access to local and regional services.
