Popis: Cancer prevalence increases with aging. Prevalent or incident neurocognitive disorders are frequent in geriatric oncology. Cognitive decline associated with cancer increases the risk of under or over-cancer treatment and makes therapeutic decisions complex. In this context, we present tools to optimize cognitive impairment screening, identification of underlying mechanisms and specific treatments. Geriatric specialists intervention can help global care, social services utilization and patient's orientation when ambulatory cares become difficult.
