  • implementing geriatric assessment and related information to adjust cancer treatment or add specific geriatric intervention

3. Develop research in geriatric oncology
4. Develop training in geriatric oncology (University diploma, masterclasses)
5. Disseminate information regarding cancer in older patients in the general public
