Caregivers of Geriatric Patients with Cancer Are Under-Recognized Critical Members of the Care Team

Older patients with cancer are sure to count their doctors and nurses as vital members of their care teams. But according to Dr. Grant Williams, caregivers are just as important to the overall health of a geriatric patient, and should be recognized as such.
Given their proximity to the patient, Williams explained, a caregiver is in the unique position to help a patient focus on the things they can work on in addition to treatment, such as maintaining their nutrition and staying physically active. In an interview with CURE, Williams went on to note that caregivers should keep in mind that a comprehensive approach to treatment that isn’t solely focused on the cancer, is what makes all the difference.
