Maya Abdallah, Assistant Professor at Boston University School of Medicine, shared a post on LinkedIn about a paper she co-authored with her colleagues published in The Journal of Geriatric Oncology:
“How do we deliver high-quality cancer care for older adults from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds?
Thrilled to share our new Perspectives piece in the Journal of Geriatric Oncology with the Cancer and Aging Research Group (CARG) Junior Board.
We propose a practical 3-pillar framework:
- Language access.
- Cultural adaptation of geriatric assessment components.
- Patient navigation.
Grateful to wonderful co-authors, Surbhi Singhal, Tanyanika Phillips, Nicole Arrato, Mukul R., Samantha Werts-Pelter, Katherine Ramos, Chad Han.”
