Galip Can Uyar: ESMO Preceptorship in Geriatric Oncology

Galip Can Uyar, Medical Oncologist at Etlik City Hospital, shared a post on X:

“Attended the ESMO – Eur. Oncology Preceptorship on Cancer Care in Elderly Patients in Lugano.

Treatment in older adults is no longer guided by age alone, but by frailty and functional status. A truly inspiring and high-level scientific course.

Geriatric oncology will shape the future—let’s be ready!”

Galip Can Uyar emphasized the shift in cancer treatment paradigms for elderly patients, highlighting that decisions are increasingly based on frailty and functional capacity rather than chronological age. His remarks followed participation in an ESMO-led oncology preceptorship focused on elder care.
