| Abstrakt: | Due to demographic changes the incidence of older patients with cancer will increase. The complexity of systemic treatment of cancer is also evolving. Older patients with cancer are underrepresented in clinical trials and do often not represent the older population treated in real-world setting. Knowledge on how to treat older patients with cancer is sparse and mostly based on pooled analyses from larger trials including older fit patients. Only few randomised trials include older patients with frailty. Clinical trials dedicated to older or frail patients with cancer are still an unmet need, as argued in this review.
