The lack of representation of older adults in guidelines roots in the lack of evidence-base for this pop. We hope that this work emphasizes further the need for a better inclusion of older adults in RCTs!
Well thought & designed observational studies are also a viable alternative

This #WorldCancerDay, we recognise that older adults face unique cancer challenges yet remain underrepresented in research. Aligned with #UnitedbyUnique", the ACADI team is striving for person-centred oncology and equitable treatment for all. #CloseTheCareGap#GeriatricOncology
👇🏻 Hey,
The amazing @IndiaPinker led this work, which is the 1st paper from the @FnrLux-funded REDICO project as part of the ATTRACT fellowship 🤩
Please have a read and let us know what you think about ☺️

As November draws to a close, the #ACADI_Lux team is turning attention to #GastricCancer awareness. Gastric cancer remains a significant health concern, especially among #OlderAdults.
This month, we continue our focus on #awareness with #LungCancer. November reminds us of the profound impact lung cancer has, particularly on #olderadults.
Early detection starts with awareness and a conversation.
Last month, we joined the movement for #breastcancerawareness. November is a month of awareness for several cancers, and we’re committed to raising #Awareness of the unique challenges that older adults face. In the spirit of #movember2024, we’re starting with prostate cancer.
