Overview

Aging is a risk factor for the development of cancer. As the United States population ages, the need for clinicians skilled in the care of older adults with cancer will increase. Research, however, suggests that common geriatric syndromes and many psychosocial needs of older adult oncology patients are often unintentionally overlooked or under-addressed.

This one-day, evidence-based virtual course is designed to optimize the care of older adult oncology patients by advancing the knowledge and expertise of advanced practice providers. Key topics in geriatric oncology, including the use of geriatric assessments for older adults with cancer, will be discussed. Presentations will also focus on translating aging biology research into clinical practice, addressing polypharmacy, and increasing older adult representation in clinical trials.

This year, oncology experts will present emerging care strategies in the treatment of common cancers among older adults. Participants will also hear from scholars in the field of molecular neuroscience and pharmaceutical outcomes and policy regarding the links between cancer and dementia, and cancer outcomes associated with GLP1 receptor agonist use respectively.

This course is designed for advanced practice providers, registered nurses, CRNAs, physicians (residents, fellows, and attendings), respiratory therapists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, social workers, case managers, and other healthcare professionals in medicine and surgery who provide care for the older adult. We’re pleased to offer complimentary registration to health professional students and registrants who reside in low and lower-middle income countries (please refer to our Policy on Registration Discounts below for more information).
