HVORFOR BESKÆFTIGE SIG SPECIELT MED ÆLDRE KRÆFTPATIENTER?
HVORFOR BESKÆFTIGE SIG SPECIELT MED ÆLDRE KRÆFTPATIENTER? Population af ældre vokser Ældre har høj incidens af kræft Populationen af ældre kræftpatienter vokser markant Ældre er underrepræsenteret i kliniske forsøg Ældre tåler generelt kræftbehandlingerne dårligere end yngre
ÆLDRE KRÆFTPATIENTER I DK År 65 år 80 år 2010 16,5 % 4,2 % 2030 22,5 % 6,3 % 2010: 60% af kræfttilfælde 65 år 2030: 69% af kræfttilfælde 65 år 2050 24,0 % 8,8 %
Inklusion af patienter 65 år I amerikanske studier (Southwest Oncology Group [SWOG] 1993 1996) N = 16.396 in 164 trials Hutchins LF, et al. N Engl J Med 1999;341:2061 7. 2
DET ER ALTSÅ INDLYSENDE AT ÆLDRE KRÆFT- PATIENTER ER UNDERREPRÆSENTERET I RCT

HOW DO WE IDENTIFY OLDER CANCER PATIENTS, WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM TREATMENT?
OLDER ADULTS A HETEROGENEOUS POPULATION
TREATMENT DECISIONS BASED ON CGA? Good shape: Same treatment as younger patients 50% of 70 75-year-old and 25% of 80 85-year-old patients Standard Treatment Vulnerable: intervention, then standard treatment Frail: intervention, then adapted treatment or palliation Geriatric Intervention Too sick for intervention
SIOG 10 PRIORITIES Education Clinical practice Research
SIOG 10 PRIORITIES - RESEARCH Develop, test and disseminate easy screening tools. Create clear and operational definition of vulnerability/ frailty applicable in oncology. Increase the relevance of trials for older patients. Require large phase III trials to oversample older patients. Extend phase II and III trials to patients with high levels of comorbidity with stratified accruals or extension cohorts. Design specific trials for older cancer patients. Promote multidisciplinary basic/translational research on the interface of aging and cancer.
AGECARE Academy of Geriatric Cancer Research WWW.AGECARE.ORG
RESEARCH PLAN Seven work packages 1. Epidemiology and genetic epidemiology 2. Cancer biology and molecular biomarkers 3. Surgery 4. Radiation therapy 5. Medical treatment 6. Supportive care (comorbidity and polypharmacy) 7. Supportive care (complications and adverse effects) AgeCare
