The European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) is to be complimented
for having decided to dedicate an issue of its “Handbook” series to
geriatric oncology. The International Society for Geriatric Oncology
(SIOG) has been happy to help in the task of developing this volume,
which was initiated by Dirk Schrijvers, Branko Zakotnik, Riccardo
Audisio, Hendrik van Halteren, Arti Hurria, and the undersigned. This
handbook is not only for Europeans. Cancer is a disease related to ageing,
and the proportion of senior patients increases worldwide. While the
proportion of persons beyond age 70 is still small in developing countries,
their numerous population means that there are more “elderlies” in India
than in Europe.
The authors have done a major effort in providing in record time chapters
that truly reflect the state of the art in the management of senior adults with
cancer. Many questions in this advancing field need considerable work
before adequate guidelines can be provided. Nevertheless, progress is being
made and is reflected by the contributions.
We recognize that some diseases have not been discussed and interesting
topics have not been addressed. This gap is filled by more comprehensive
books, and today’s electronic communications allow one to explore any
area of interest easily.
The treatment of any patient requires a careful evaluation of the person who
is in need of such treatment. This is even truer for the seniors, who have
less reserves to cope with cancer and its treatment. Therefore, this handbook
leaves ample space for chapters that help in the delicate decisionmaking
process, which should lead to the best therapy, adapted not only to
the disease but also to the person who suffers from it.
