Older adults with cancer frequently have several unmet needs related to overlapping vulnerabilities caused by medical and social health challenges which are often overlooked in typical oncological assessments 1. Social support and psychological health are critical considerations for older adults with cancer and are therefore key components of a geriatric assessment.
