GAM’s Pivotal Role in Improving Outcomes

SIOG – International Society of Geriatric Oncology shared on LinkedIn:

“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.

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.
