AnCan’s good buddy, John Novack – Director of Communications and PR at Inspire. often brings good articles and media to our attention. This past week-end John sent me a very interesting ‘Shot’ from NPR Health News about A Cancer Care Approach Tailored To The Elderly May that Have Better Results
The example used is an elderly man with prostate cancer, but frankly this approach is applicable to any type of cancer. And this approach makes a mockery of one of my favorite straw men, the USPSTF, who does not recommend PSA testing for men over 70. HELLO USPSTF ….. 70 is the new 50!
If you are over 65, consider raising geriatric assessments with your medical oncologist.
