In this article, the Asian Geriatric Oncology Society provides an overview on how to develop geriatric oncology services in the clinical setting. This overview gives an insight into the rationale; key stakeholders; four essential components of the services; multidisciplinary team and tumor boards; assessment and screening protocols; data, research, and audit; professional education, development, and training; and communication, awareness and social medial utilization. In the second part of the article, we focus on optimizing resource utilization in constrained settings-dividing them into "must have" and "good to have."
