@DcccAge’s yealy meeting is off to a decisive start. Together we have compiled recommendations for endpoints for future DCCC Age affiliated studies and agreed to move forward on becoming an established medical association.💪

At oncologic treatment initiation, poor HRQoL in older adults with cancer is primarily reflective of the initial state of shock following their cancer diagnosis and sudden functional dependency. @DcccAge @AgeCare1 @cancer_dk @onko_ouh #gerionc @DitzelHelena @JesperRyg @akgiger

@KDieperink

[DCCC Age @DcccAge]

Should universal endpoints be employed in future Danish oncogeriatric studies and how should these endpoints be assessed? How can we incorporate shared decision making in oncogeriatric research? Great input and discussion @DcccAge annual meeting! #gerionc #CancerResearch

Congrats to Ehmsen et al. for their Cancer Cell publication evaluating the neutralizing capacity to current SARS-CoV-2 variants in predominately older patients with cancer before and after receiving the BNT162b2 bivalent mRNA vaccine booster. https://t.co/4IvBee27Hd @onko_ouh

The SaVe project has begun recruiting #olderadults with colorectal cancer @HerlevGentofte @Rigshospitalet
Focus: Why older pts. experience side effects to chemotherapy +development & whether CGA + tailored physical training can counteract some side effects & improve #QoL #gerionc

@JGeriOnc @WilliamDale_MD @rochgerionc @myCARG Great work by Gabor Liposits and the Nordic9 team 👏🙌
