Agree…. powerful article @TimRRead I worked at the Quit campaign as a student when tobacco advertising was freely visible. VicHealth has worked to prevent so many cancers and it is very sad to hear of its demise.

Truly a global effort needed. Well done to @EnriqueSoto8 , @crisbergerot @ASCO and team #gerionc. A major step in the right direction to enable person-centred age friendly cancer care. Adequate assessment yields appropriate care (wherever you live).

In just 14 years European countries managed to increase their life expectancy by quite a bit. Really cool visual too!

Management of immune checkpoint inhibitor-associated toxicities in older adults with cancer: recommendations from the International Society of Geriatric Oncology (SIOG) #CancerHasNoAge 🚨 buff.ly/lg73Tsp Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have significantly improved cancer treatment, particularly for older adults, a rapidly growing demographic often prescribed these therapies. However, managing ICI-related toxicities in older adults, especially those with frailty and comorbidities, presents unique challenges. This Policy Review, developed by the International Society of Geriatric Oncology (SIOG), provides an evidence-based framework for healthcare providers, caregivers, and policymakers, addressing specific considerations for older adults that are not sufficiently covered by existing guidelines, while integrating geriatric oncology principles into the treatment approach. #GeriOnc #Immunotherapy @CEochagain @neuendorff_nr @jleipy @martheverhaert @NienkedeGlas @kgsindhu @FabioGomes_Go @Decoster_Lore @SRostoft @nicolobattisti #OncoAlertAF @nataliagandur @acampsmalea @BiagioRicciutMD @yekeduz_emre @HHorinouchi @FadiHaddad_MD @Dr_Ivanoncologo @Abdallah81MD @FernandoOnco @ElisaAgostinett @to_be_elizabeth @bavilima @realbowtiedoc @Erman_Akkus @Lucarecco @GaiaGriguolo @JankovicK Ping GeriOnc Faculty @WilliamDale_MD @IshwariaMD @drcbsteer @ravikanesvaran @crisbergerot
