Australian healthcare professionals' experiences and perception of management of older adults with cancer: A qualitative study
This study provides insight into current practice of care for older adults with cancer and the barriers and facilitators to GA implementation within Australian cancer services. Health economic research demonstrating cost-effectiveness of GAs to facilitate system-level change is required. There is also need for further education and training for Australian HCPs on geriatric principles and assessments to improve management for older adults with cancer.
