This session helps attendees appraise the clinical decision-making related to anti-neoplastic treatments in the older adult with cancer, discuss the interprofessional collaboration required in geriatric oncology, and describe cases of oncologic emergencies and immunological adverse events that may present in primary and acute care settings.
