[Comprehensive geriatric assessment and cancer care-choice of treatment and in-home palliative care executed by using advance care planning].

Le résumé fourni par la source

Choice of treatment and in-home palliative care are important for the cancer care of the elderly. In recent years, comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA), which has been developed as a multidimensional evaluation method for the elderly, has been attracting attention for cancer care as well. CGA can be a common language for the choice of treatment and in-home palliative care of elderly cancer patients. Also, advance care planning (ACP), is important as a process that supports decision making. In the future, better choices of treatment will become available, and in-home palliative care will be improved by carrying out cancer care using CGA, while continuously carrying out ACP as an organization, realizing a high quality of life (QOL) of the elderly.
