Access to Care and Prognosis in Elderly Cancer Patients: Analysis of Determinants Using Data From Cancer Registries and Cohort Studies in Gironde, French Department
In Brief
An observational study evaluating Any cancer treatment for Cancer. Completed, enrolled 450 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The growing incidence of cancer associated to an aging population represents an epidemiologic reality that requires questioning access to care and prognosis in elderly with cancer, for which disparities have been highlighted. However, generally speaking, studies are limited in that they overlook geriatric-specific factors. The aim of this work was to study sociodemographic, socioeconomic and clinical determinants of access to care (cancer stage, cancer treatment) and prognosis (functional decline, survival) in elderly cancer patients.
