Description
Sean Halpin sums up a 2024 meeting session on cancer care for older adults, from first diagnosis through life after treatment. Age adds strain to an already hard path, with more health needs and more stress at each step. Four talks in the session look at that path from four angles.
One talk studies how nurses teach patients with a blood cancer before a stem cell procedure. A second follows immigrant Latina patients through their care. A third looks at peer support for older Nigerian women with breast cancer that has spread. The last uses survey data on symptom load and life quality in older survivors. Together the talks show why care must fit age and culture, not just the tumor.
