Geriatric Oncology is a subspecialty of Oncology that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of cancer in elderly patients. It is a rapidly growing field due to the increasing number of elderly individuals in the population. Geriatric Oncology takes into account the unique needs of elderly patients, such as their physical and cognitive limitations, as well as their social and psychological needs. Treatment plans are tailored to the individual patient, taking into account their age, medical history, and other factors. Geriatric Oncology also focuses on palliative care, which is aimed at providing comfort and quality of life for elderly patients with advanced cancer. Some companies in the Geriatric Oncology market include Novartis, Pfizer, Merck, Bristol-Myers Squibb, and AstraZeneca. Show Less Read more
