Abstract
The elderly oncology patient has unique needs that require consideration in all aspects of care, from drug administration to nursing management. Aging is a highly individualized process and may present as a variety of clinical manifestations. As these age-related changes occur the oncology nurse must be prepared to recognize their potential impact on cancer treatment for each individual patient. To intervene successfully requires the knowledge and application of both geriatric and oncology nursing principles.
