Is age a risk factor for depression among the oldest old with cancer
TL;DR: Depression among older patients with cancer rises with increasing age, being extremely common among the oldest old, and the importance of addressing the potentially unmet psychological needs of this rapidly growing patient population is highlighted.

Cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in elderly patients. A systematic literature review
Victor Lopez-Lopez,P.A. Cascales-Campos,Marcel André Schneider,José Francisco López Gil,E. Gil,N. Rodriguez Gomez-Hidalgo,Pascual Parrilla +6 more
TL;DR: In studies that stratified for elderly patients, PCI, completeness of cytoreduction, tumor histology and albumin levels were predictive factors of survival, but older adults undergoing cytoreductive surgery and HIPEC consistently had lower survival rates than younger individuals.

Impact of anxio-depressive symptoms and cognitive function on oral anticancer therapies adherence
Mélanie Dos Santos,Marie Lange,Radj Gervais,Bénédicte Clarisse,Aurélie Capel,M. Barillet,Jean-Michel Grellard,Natacha Heutte,Idlir Licaj,Florence Joly +9 more
TL;DR: Focusing on depressive symptoms before initiation of oral anticancer therapy could help to identify patient profiles more likely to fail self-management and working memory, digit memory, and short-term memory also seem to play a role in non-adherence.

TL;DR: A CGA, with or without screening, and with follow-up, should be used in older cancer patients, in order to detect unaddressed problems, improve their functional status, and possibly their survival.

TL;DR: A simple method for identifying community‐dwelling vulnerable older people, defined as persons age 65 and older at increased risk of death or functional decline, is developed to assess whether self‐reported diagnoses and conditions add predictive ability to a function‐based survey.

Screening older cancer patients: first evaluation of the G-8 geriatric screening tool
Carine Bellera,Muriel Rainfray,Simone Mathoulin-Pélissier,C. Mertens,Fleur Delva,Marianne Fonck,P. Soubeyran +6 more
TL;DR: The G-8 shows good screening properties for identifying elderly cancer patients who could benefit from comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) and has a cut-off value of 14 for the primary reference test, without deteriorating the specificity excessively.

TL;DR: A brief, but comprehensive, primarily self‐administered cancer‐specific geriatric assessment measure is developed and its feasibility is determined as measured by the percentage of patients able to complete the measure on their own, the length of time to complete, and patient satisfaction with the measure.

Undertreatment Strongly Decreases Prognosis of Breast Cancer in Elderly Women
Christine Bouchardy,Elisabetta Rapiti,Gérald Fioretta,Paul Laissue,Isabelle Neyroud-Caspar,Peter Schäfer,John M. Kurtz,André-Pascal Sappino,Georges Vlastos +8 more
TL;DR: Half of elderly patients with breast cancer are undertreated, with strongly decreased specific survival as a consequence, and treatments need to be adapted to the patient's health status, but also should offer the best chance of cure.
