The IUCT-Oncopole, alongside Sofog and UCOG Occitanie Pyrénées, is participating in the 2nd National Day for Senior Cancers. Co-led by Dr. Loïc Mourey, a medical oncologist at Oncopole, and Dr. Stéphanie Lozano, a geriatrician at the Toulouse University Hospital (CHU), this initiative aims to raise awareness about cancer care for the elderly.
A video, produced with the support of the Regional Specific Device Onco-Occitanie, provides an update on the challenges of oncogeriatic care and the organization of services in the Western Occitanie region. It addresses crucial questions such as warning signs of cancer in individuals over 70, appropriate oncogeriatic treatment, and how care is structured.
Research in oncogeriatic care is also a key focus, with insights into its current status and future prospects. This day emphasizes that there is no age limit for receiving cancer treatment.
“"Seniors, so what! there is no age to be treated for cancer."
