Oral hygiene is essential for a healthy quality of life. The main aim of the study carried out in oncogeriatrics at Amiens University Hospital was to test the Oral Health Assessment Tool (Ohat) score as a means of assessing patients' oral health status, in order to optimize referral criteria for odontological care. Significant correlations were found between the Ohat score and the frailty scales specific to geriatric assessment.

The mission of oncogeriatric coordination units (OCU) is to facilitate the coordination of professionals at all stages of the care pathway for cancer patients aged 75 and over. OCU Poitou-Charentes works with the Vienne coordination support unit (CSU 86) to ensure that patients in vulnerable and complex situations receive regular follow-up and support at home. Here's a look back at an experiment launched ten years ago.

In response to the need for high-quality care for elderly patients with bronchial cancer, the pneumology and oncogeriatrics units have developed an integrative care pathway. It is the result of collaboration between the advanced practice nurse in oncopneumology, the coordinating nurse and the oncogeriatric physician.

Self-care is best when the partner is actively involved in the whole process of managing the heart failure (HF) patient. Heart failure could be improved by educational sessions based on the teach-back approach. The aim is to equip healthcare staff, including French-speaking nurses, with the two-way teach-back approach, with a specific component on self-care for HF couples.

The discovery of a cancer for which there is no immediate curative option is a frequent occurrence in the elderly. This article describes two well-identified pathways coordinated by advanced practice nurses at our facility: the oncogeriatric pathway and the early palliative pathway, as well as the link between these pathways.

Working in a multi-disciplinary environment in an assisted living facility for elderly people represents a "virtuous circle" in which a professional contributes to the resident, who in turn contributes to the professional. Cooperation, ingenuity, a questioning approach to everyday tasks and a quality relational approach are the foundations of personalized support and mutual enrichment. How can we transform the ordinary moments of residents' daily lives into extraordinary, meaningful moments?

The World Health Organization recommends the use of the Integrated Care for Older People program to prevent the onset of dependency and enable seniors to age as they wish. In oncogeriatrics, it can be offered before or after the therapeutic project to any autonomous patient in order to monitor their intrinsic capacity. The experience of the Toulouse University Hospital shows the value of this follow-up in oncogeriatrics and the adherence of participants.

Difpad-Onco (nursing screening of the frailty of elderly people, at home, with oncological disease) aims to facilitate and complement the identification of frailties in elderly cancer patients by private practice nurses in the patient's home. It consists of the G8 Oncodage, a Mini-Cog screening for cognitive impairment, a history of falls, and social frailty. It is aimed at all cancer patients aged 70 and over. Around 80% of patients assessed have a G8 score ≤ 14/17, indicating geriatric frailty, and over 60% have more than one frailty (social, dietary, cognitive, falls). The DIFPAD-Onco project represents an innovative experiment in care pathways for elderly cancer patients.
