Rare cancers.The risk of cancer increases with age and the number of older adults seeking treatment is rising dramatically in line with the aging population. The care of older patients differs from that of younger adults because of variation in the biology of the tumor, age-related variation in host physiology, co-morbidity burden and psychosocial issues, which might impact the efficacy and side effects of cancer therapy. Management of Urological Cancers in Older People focuses on treatment strategies of urological cancers and provides guidance on the issues specific to older patients, spanning background and epidemiology, special considerations in the care of older people, therapeutics, and psychosocial considerations. This book offers a thorough review of current approaches to treating older urological cancer patients, detailing the special issues and considerations involved. The discipline-spanning coverage outlines best practice and proposes topics for future research. This first volume in the Management of Cancer in Older People series will be of interest to all surgical oncologists, medical oncologists, gerontologists, urologists and other members of the multidisciplinary team involved  in the care of elderly urological cancer patients.Management of Cancer in Older People ;1Genitourinary organsCancerGeriatric oncologyGenitourinary organsCancer.Geriatric oncology.616.9946616.99461Droz Jean-Pierre1755330Audisio Riccardo A1659194International Society of Geriatric Oncology.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910438019603321Management of urological cancers in older people4192062UNINA
