Ouderen met een vermoedelijke maligniteit

Some older patients with suspected malignancy are not automatically eligible for a standard care process due to frailty or limited treatment wishes. For this group we recommend a personalized approach in which frailty is identified and the patient's wishes are central. To achieve appropriate care, cooperation and timely consultation between primary care or elderly care with a geriatric and/or oncological specialist from secondary care is important. Together, a care plan can be realized, and agreements can be made as to who will have the management role.
