Missions
When cancer is diagnosed in elderly people aged 75 and over, we can suggest the most appropriate treatment for the individual's specific needs.
- oncogeriatric medical consultation,
- an in-depth geriatric assessment on a half-day inpatient basis, if possible in the presence of a companion.
Indeed, all treatments can be considered for the elderly patient, but they must be adapted to the existence of frailty and to the overall state of health.
Screening for geriatric frailty (using the Oncodage G8 tool) can be carried out by the oncologist, surgeon or consultation nurse, to identify people requiring referral to an oncogeriatric assessment consultation.
This consultation enables us to assess :
- autonomy,
- associated diseases,
- treatments and their interactions,
- cognitive functions (memory impairment),
- mood (anxiety, depression),
- nutritional status,
- pain,
- the risk of falling,
- social environment.
Care services
At the Center, geriatric oncology care takes place over half a day, on Mondays or Fridays, in a day hospital on the 3rd floor.
The team
Patients are invited to bring a family member to the assessment, and will meet with a multidisciplinary team made up of :
- a specialist nurse to assess memory, mood, gait and autonomy,
- two advanced practice nurses for consultations and assessments,
- a social worker to assess the need for assistance with daily living (household help, home help, etc.),
- a dietician for nutritional assessment and advice,
- four doctors trained in geriatrics and oncology for the evaluation summary :
- Dr Isabelle CRINIERE
