“…Other efforts have been ongoing for many years in Spain. Molina et al have worked for years in the field of geriatric oncology [ 6 ] and two national, multidisciplinary meetings were held in 2011 and 2012 [ 7 , 8 ]. To date, three units have been recognized by SIOG (Hospital Universitario Fundación Jiménez Díaz in Madrid, Hospital Duran i Reynals Institut Català d’Oncologia in Barcelona, and Hospital General Virgen de la Luz in Cuenca) [ 9 , 10 ].…”

IntroductionGeriatric oncology (GO) is a discipline that focuses on the management of elderly patients with cancer. The Spanish Society of Medical Oncology (SEOM) created a Working group dedicated to geriatric oncology in February 2016.ObjectivesThe main goal of this study was to describe the current situation in Spain regarding the management of elderly cancer patients through an online survey of medical oncologists.MethodsA descriptive survey was sent to several hospitals by means of the SEOM website. A personal e-mail was also sent to SEOM members.ResultsBetween March 2016 and April 2017, 154 answers were collected. Only 74 centers (48%) had a geriatrics department and a mere 21 (14%) medical oncology departments had a person dedicated to GO. The vast majority (n = 135; 88%) had the perception that the number of elderly patients with cancer seen in clinical practice had increased. Eighteen (12%) oncologists had specific protocols and geriatric scales were used at 55 (31%) centers. Almost all (92%) claimed to apply special management practices using specific tools. There was agreement that GO afforded certain potential advantages. Finally, 99% of the oncologists surveyed believed it and that training in GO had to be improved.ConclusionsFrom the nationwide survey promoted by the Spanish Geriatric Oncology Working Group on behalf of SEOM, we conclude that there is currently no defined care structure for elderly cancer patients. There is an increasing perception of the need for training in GO. This survey reflects a reality in which specific needs are perceived.

“…La VGI permite conocer el estado de salud basal inicial y monitorizar su evolución a lo largo de la enfermedad 4 . No existe acuerdo sobre qué escalas deben formar parte de la VGI para el anciano con cáncer; sí la recomendación de que debe incluir una evaluación cognitiva, funcional y psicosocial a través de escalas específicas [21][22][23] . En la tabla 2 se encuentran descritas las herramientas más utilizadas en la VGI por las EOG para la evaluación del anciano con cáncer.…”

“…En la tabla 2 se encuentran descritas las herramientas más utilizadas en la VGI por las EOG para la evaluación del anciano con cáncer. La VGI precisa de mucho tiempo para su administración y de un equipo multidisciplinar para su implementación [21][22][23] . Se han creado varios instrumentos de cribado para detectar a los ancianos que se puedan beneficiar de una futura VGI y también se han desarrollado instrumentos intermedios entre las escalas de cribado y la VGI, denominadas valoraciones multidimensionales geriátricas, que son más breves y rápidas de administrar 3,23 .…”

“…La realización de la VGI facilitará la estratificación de estos para la toma final de la decisión terapéutica con el fin de escoger tratamientos con un óptimo perfil de seguridad y eficacia. Actualmente, en España se utiliza la propuesta de Balducci 33 para la clasificación de los ancianos con cáncer en tres tipos: anciano independiente, anciano parcialmente dependiente y anciano dependiente [19][20][21][22][23] .…”

“…Integrar el rol investigador en la práctica asistencial de EOG proporcionará amplios beneficios: preservará la utilización de recursos, ofreciendo cuidados basados en la evidencia científica y mejorará la calidad asistencial. Hasta el momento, los estudios de investigación se han centrado en la identificación de herramientas más breves y predictivas, que faciliten la toma de decisiones de tratamientos individualizados 22 . Existen pocos estudios sobre la eficacia de las intervenciones o plan de actuaciones integral para el anciano con cáncer; este es un campo de investigación esencial para las EOG 36 .…”

Cancer and aging in Ibero-America

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Population aging represents a worldwide challenge. In Ibero-America (Spain, Portugal, and the American countries in which the Spanish or Portuguese language are spoken), the number of older adults is growing, leading to an increase in aging-related diseases such as cancer. Older adults already account for half of all cancer cases in Ibero-America, and this proportion will continue to increase. Furthermore, Ibero-American healthcare systems are not adequately prepared to provide care for older adults with cancer, mainly due to a lack of resources and generalized paucity of geriatric training for healthcare providers. Across the region, several clinical initiatives, educational activities and research collaborations have been established to set the foundations of Ibero-American geriatric oncology and to increase the geriatric knowledge among healthcare providers. This article provides an overview of the current landscape of geriatric oncology in Ibero-America, highlighting its critical challenges, opportunities for improvement and collaboration, and future directions.
