Abstract

Pelvic gynaecological cancers are common in elderly women. Diagnosis and the decision to treat require multidisciplinary expertise. An oncologic, surgical and geriatric evaluation contributes to a split decision and personalised care. The care team is involved in the geriatric evaluation, information, education and patient monitoring throughout the treatment plan.
