Abstract: The field of oncology and cancer medicine presents unique challenges when addressing the needs of older individuals. These abstract aims to explore the intersection of oncology care and aging, focusing on the assessment, diagnosis, and interventions relevant to nursing practice. Older adults comprise a significant proportion of cancer patients, yet they often present with distinct physiological, psychological, and social characteristics that necessitate tailored approaches to care.
