Evidence-Based Role of GAM in Improving Cancer Outcomes in Older Adults – SIOG
International Society of Geriatric Oncology – SIOG shared a post on X:
“Geriatric Assessment and Management (GAM) plays a pivotal role in improving outcomes for older adults with cancer, and it’s more than just good practice.
It’s evidence-based.
Check this and all SIOG Guidelines.
A position paper from the ESMO/SIOG Cancer in the Elderly Working Group outlines how GAM can inform both oncological and non-oncological care decisions.
Key insights include:
- GAM helps tailor treatment by identifying vulnerabilities
- It supports better prognostication, follow-up, and supportive care
- Several large RCTs show GAM improves patient outcomes
- Recommendations and future directions are outlined for integrating GAM into routine oncology
As cancer care becomes increasingly complex with age, these recommendations provide a critical foundation for personalized, age-appropriate treatment.”
