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.

We're pleased to announce that this year's keynote speaker is Dr. Allison Magnuson, board-certified geriatrician, medical oncologist, and director of the Specialized Oncology Care and Research in the Elderly (SOCARE) Clinic at the University of Rochester Medical Center. Dr. Magnuson is actively involved in research, focusing on improving outcomes for treating older patients with cancer.

Dr. Magnuson will share her passion, expertise, and insights on the assessment and management of vulnerabilities in older adults receiving cancer-directed therapies.

Finally, the program will conclude with an engaging discussion on the future of geriatric oncology, presented by Dr. Stuart Lichtman, former President of the International Society of Geriatric Oncology.

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).

Attendees will receive access to an online syllabus after the course, which will include select PDFs of the faculty presentations (slides) and recorded videos.
