Abstract
The implementation of cross-functional measures along the care pathway of cancer patients in France is globally lower in the elderly. However, age is not a criterion for excluding curative treatment, and the evaluation of physical, psychological and social resources and comorbidities is particularly significant in this population. Identifying needs in terms of support care which influences the patient's quality of life as well as the efficacy of treatments is also essential. The objective of geriatric oncology coordination is to offer elderly cancer patients global treatment, curative or otherwise, through the putting in place of a personalised care programme.
