Dr Bishal Gyawali explores the definition of geriatric oncology and how it can change.

He explains that the ‘cut-off’ age for defining geriatric patients varies globally, which can have an impact on studies.

Dr Gyawali looks at a potential standardisation of geriatric definitions to benefit future clinical trials, emphasising that since each patient presents differently based on various factors, the definition should be context-based rather than strictly age-based.
