Ravindran Kanesvaran: ESMO-SIOG session on multidisciplinary approach to management of older adults with cancer
Ravindran Kanesvaran, Chair and Senior Consultant of the Division of Medical Oncology at the National Cancer Centre Singapore, shared a post on LinkedIn by SIOG, adding:
“An amazing ESMO-SIOG session on multidisciplinary approach to management of older adults with cancer today at ESMO24.
Had the privilege to co-chair this with Dr. Boulahssass Rabia and work with Etienne Brain, Laura Biganzoli and Prof. Dr. Axel S. Merseburger in coming up with 2 interesting cases in prostate and breast cancer highlighting importance of MDTs in personalizing care for our older adults with advanced cancer based on the latest evidence.
Looking forward to more data in this space at the SIOG – International Society of Geriatric Oncology annual meeting in Montreal next month. Many thanks to ESMO – European Society for Medical Oncology for organising this special sesion in this years meeting!”
Quoting International Society of Geriatric Oncology (SIOG)’s post:
“The ESMO/SIOG working group hosted a special session today at ESMO24 highlighting the holistic approach to cancer care for older adults: ‘Working together in the era of personalized care for older adults with cancer.’
The session was chaired by medical oncologist Ravindran Kanesvaran and geriatrician Boulahssass Rabia.
Two cases were presented: one by Etienne Brain, regarding metastatic breast cancer treatment considered from the perspective of medical oncologist laura biganzoli, and the other by Ravindran Kanesvaran, who brought a case of prostate cancer to Prof. Dr. Axel S. Merseburger for the perspective from a urologist.
This session demonstrated to all in the room how a multidisciplinary approach can improve patient outcomes for adults with cancer.”
