Geriatric oncology in India is in its infancy. The majority of older Indian patients with cancer are not evaluated systematically with a validated geriatric assessment (GA), but rather are assessed using clinical judgement. Due to a severe shortage of persons skilled in geriatric oncology, and the lack of dedicated geriatric oncology units both in major academic centers as well as in corporate hospitals. Besides, several GA tools and scales that were developed in the West are not suitable for some older patients, due to differences in cultural experiences, illiteracy, and varying life expectancies.
Geriatric Oncology Clinic is one of the few programs in the nation that specializes in providing older patients with cancer the highly customized care you need. No matter what kind of cancer you have, if you have cancer, you can be referred to a doctor in our clinic who will work hand-in-hand with your other oncologists.
