| Annotation | Professor David Black, as Consultant Geriatrician at Queen Mary's Hospital, Sidcup provides the commentary to this issue on oncology and the geriatrician. Professor Black notes that since the original Cancer Plan (2000) was published, much progress has been made in treatment plans but the new strategy to advance plans until 2012 does not appear to have any specialist geriatric input, which is regrettable as geriatricians will often manage patient's care from diagnosis to terminal care and calls for care to be taken to prevent ageism occurring in the management of oncology. The other five articles, written by doctors in the field, cover: complications of cancer; ovarian cancer; cancer and venous thrombosis; palliative care and breast cancer. (KJ/RH). |
