Abstract

The incidence of cancer will increase dramatically among elderly people in the 21st century. The first French National Cancer Plan (2003-2006) with the French Ministry of Health supported the creation of 15 pilot coordination units in oncogeriatrics (UPCOG) in 13 out of the 27 French regions. The second French National Cancer Plan (2009-2013) continues to support oncogeriatrics. Based on evaluation of the pilot experiment in 2010, requirement specifications for an oncogeriatric coordination unit were defined and rolled out nationwide. The following missions were set out: to adjust cancer treatment in elderly people and enable all elderly cancer patients to benefit from this oncogeriatric approach; to stimulate specific research in oncogeriatrics; to promote training of health professionals, and to promote information. The clinical use of a geriatric prescreening tool as a routine procedure needs to become more widespread. Lastly, recommendations for treatment strategies tailored to elderly persons with high-incidence cancer must be developed. Fifteen oncogeriatrics coordination units were founded since 2011, covering 11 regions. Roll-out continues in 2012.

老龄化和癌症——解决一个国家的挑战。

21世纪，老年人中癌症的发病率将急剧上升。法国第一个国家癌症计划(2003-2006年)与法国卫生部合作，支持在法国27个大区中的13个大区建立15个老年肿瘤医学试点协调单位。第二项法国国家癌症计划(2009-2013)继续支持老年癌症学。在2010年试点评估的基础上，确定了老年肿瘤协调单位的需求规范，并在全国推广。我们的任务如下:调整老年人的癌症治疗，使所有老年癌症患者都能从这种老年癌症治疗方法中受益;促进老年肿瘤学的具体研究;促进对保健专业人员的培训，并推广信息。老年筛查工具作为常规程序的临床应用需要得到更广泛的应用。最后，必须制定适合老年高发癌症患者的治疗策略建议。自2011年以来，成立了15个老年肿瘤协调单位，覆盖11个地区。2012年将继续推出。
