    Not every older patient is frail and not every frail patient is old.

    The incidence of cancer goes up rapidly in the older age groups with a big jump in incidence in the over 75 age group. We are treating increasing numbers of older patients with increasingly complex therapy.
    This is often called a 'Silver Tsunami'.

    We talk to Dr Nicolo Battisti - A medical oncologist - who is Clinical Lead of the Senior Adult Oncology Programme at the Royal Marsden Hospital and president of SIOG - the Society of Geriatric Oncology.

    We discuss the impact of frailty on cancer therapy for older patients and how to assess frailty in patients.

    This is part 1 of 2 of an excellent session!!

    Enjoy
