Geriatric assessment (GA) is supported by recent trials and guidelines yet rarely implemented due to a lack of resources. We performed an economic evaluation geriatric oncology clinic. Pre-GA proposed treatments post-GA actual were obtained from detailed chart review patients seen at single academic centre. GA-based costs for investigations referrals calculated. Unit surgical, radiation, systemic therapy, laboratory, imaging, physician, nursing, allied health care (all in 2019 Canadian...

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most common hematological malignancy in USA. Extra-medullary disease very rare and not well characterized. In practice, clinically significant cardiac or pericardial involvement by CLL extremely with only a few case reports literature. We report 51-year-old male patient past medical history of remission, who presented fatigue, dyspnea on exertion, night sweats left supraclavicular lymphadenopathy. Laboratory investigations were notable for leukopenia...
e23025 Background: Older adults with cancer are at increased risk of delirium given their advanced age, multiple comorbidities and medications, prevalence cognitive impairment, possibly treatment. Awareness such risks interventions to prevent or treat is important clinicians provide high quality care. However, there scant published information on the chemotherapy evidence-based approaches it. We performed a scoping review summarize available evidence. Methods: conducted using framework...
e20519 Background: Clinical trials in multiple myeloma (MM) typically enroll patients that are younger and less frail while 33% over the age of 75. Advanced age/frailty is associated with worse prognosis, partly due to poor tolerability therapy. Compared doublets, triplets improve progression-free overall survival (PFS OS), but these outcomes not well studied older patients. Here, we compare doublet triplet therapy newly diagnosed MM Methods: The MMRF’s CoMMpass trial an international,...
e24012 Background: Frailty is an under recognized yet clinically important consideration in treatment decision making for older adults with cancer. The Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) considered gold standard recognition of frailty and endorsed by the International Society Oncology. Additionally, multiple screening tools have been validated to reliably detect frailty. Nevertheless, studies suggest that formal not prevalent community oncology practices oncologists’ clinical judgement...
