Press Release (EN/FR/DE): Older Adults Overlooked in Cancer Guidelines Across Europe

Dear Madam/Sir,

Please find attached a press release from the Luxembourg Institute of Health (LIH), which may be of interest to you.

Older Adults Overlooked in Cancer Guidelines Across Europe

A new study led by LIH researcher Dr India Pinker highlights the critical gaps for older adults in national cancer care guidelines across 31 European jurisdictions.

A scoping review of 187 cancer care guidelines across Europe reveals a widespread underrepresentation of older adults in national cancer guidelines. The findings call for urgent action to improve guidance and support for geriatric oncology amid ageing populations.

For more information, please refer to the attached press release in English, French and German.

We remain at your disposal for any further questions.

Best regards,

Arnaud D'Agostini
