T2  - Problem Solving in Older Cancer Patients
AB  - There  is  increasing  discussion  about  service  needs  and  developments  for  cancer  care  for  older  people.  The  topic  is  not  new.1-4  In  the  USA,  the  population  aged  65  or  over  will  double  by  2050,  and,  in  the  EU,  people  over  65  years  will  outnumber  children  by  2060.5,6  In  the  UK,  by  2030,  about  70%  of  cancers  will  occur  in  people  aged  over  65  years.7  Studies  by  the  International  Cancer  Benchmarking  Partnership  and  EUROCARE,  the  European  Cancer  Registry,  suggest  that  the  survival  gap  is  widening  between  older  and  younger  patients  diagnosed  with  cancer  in  Europe.8-10  There  are  also  worrying  indications  from  within  these  studies  that  older  patients  in  the  UK  may  be  relatively  disadvantaged.  8-11
