This editorial discusses the difficulties encountered in the management of cancer among the geriatric population. Although cancer research has made substantial advancements, treatments frequently fail to consider the long-lasting consequences and adverse effects on elderly people. We advocate for enhanced geriatric oncology care, embodying enhanced evaluation techniques, the incorporation of complementary therapies, and the utilisation of wearable technologies for remote surveillance. Additionally, we suggest modifying future clinical trials to take into account the cognitive well-being of senior individuals. Implementing these modifications would greatly enhance cancer treatment for geriatric cancer patients.
Keywords: cognition; fraility; geriatric oncology; mental health; precision model of cancer therapy; telehealth; wearable technology; yoga.
