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.

Originally recorded live on April 29, 2025, this evidence-based on-demand 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. Highlights also include emerging strategies for treating common cancers in older adults. Additionally, leading scholars in molecular neuroscience and pharmaceutical outcomes and policy examine the relationship between cancer and dementia, as well as cancer outcomes associated with the use of GLP-1 receptor agonists.

Keynote Speaker

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—delivers a compelling keynote presentation. Actively engaged in research aimed at improving outcomes for older adults with cancer, Dr. Magnuson shares her expertise and insights on the assessment and management of age-related vulnerabilities in patients undergoing cancer-directed therapies.

The target audience for this program includes advanced practice providers, registered nurses, CRNAs, physicians (including residents, fellows, and attendings), respiratory therapists, physical and occupational therapists, social workers, case managers, and other healthcare professionals involved in the care of older adults.
