Symposium
ELDERLY AND RADIATION THERAPY
14:15 - 15:30 | ROOM 3
The symposium will focus on how geriatric assessment can be adapted to daily cancer care and radia-
tion therapy. The preference of older females with breast cancer for either surgery or radiation therapy
will be explored and how further information may influence this choice. Finally a quick-guide, Palliative
Radiation Treatment Summary (PaRTS), dedicated to all health care professions has been developed,
and possibilities to bridge the gap between the radiation medicine and primary care team, using the
tool, will be discussed.
