Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
As the french population is ageing, the question of medical care in elderly cancer patients is fundamental. A third of all cancer patients are 70 years or older. This population has specific challenges: autonomy maintenance, treatments efficacy with limited side effects. As a result of a call to projects, the Geriatric Oncology unit of the French Alps (UCOGAlp) has been selected by the National Institute of Cancer (INCa). It includes 15 centres in the Alpine area. This unit has been evaluated patients since 2011, giving them a full geriatric evaluation and trying to establish adapted cares. In order to evaluate the impact of those evaluation on patients' health, the investigators have developped a geriatric follow-up after 1 month (D30) and 4 months (D120). The investigators want to develop a common data base to these centres, in order to evaluate the care practices that were developped, and demonstrate the benefit for the patient on the dependence level and the overall survival.
