    Abstract Introduction: Polypharmacy is common in older adults with cancer and is associated with drug related problems (DRPs) and potentially inappropriate medication (PIM). We introduced a medication optimization care pathway for older adults with advanced cancer and a limited life expectancy and studied the prevalence of DRPs and PIMs as well as the adherence to medication-related recommendations and the patient satisfaction.
    Materials and methods: A medication review was performed in patients aged ≥65 years with polypharmacy and a life expectancy of <24 months. Recommendations on adjustments of medication were discussed in a multidisciplinary team including a pharmacist, an oncologist, and a geriatrician. Implementation of the recommendations was left to the discretion of the oncologist. Four weeks after the implementation, the patient filled a questionnaire to assess satisfaction.
    Results: One hundred twenty patients were included. The mean age was 75 years and 39% were female. A mean of 12 medications was used. The median number of DRP was 6.0 per patient and median number of PIMs was 3.0 per patient. Overtreatment accounted for 26% of DRP and the most frequently involved drug classes were antihypertensive medication (22%), non-opioid analgesics (22%), and antilipemics (12%). The multidisciplinary team accepted 78% of the recommendations of the pharmacist and the oncologist implemented 54% of the recommendations. Overall, patients were satisfied or very satisfied with the intervention.
    Discussion: DRPs and PIMs are highly prevalent in this population and can be reduced by a multidisciplinary medication optimization intervention. Patients appreciate the medication optimization intervention and are satisfied with the intervention.

    Abstract Adults aged ≥80 years (the oldest-old) comprise the fastest growing age group in Western populations. Yet little is known about their cancer burden. In this nationwide study, we assessed their trends in incidence, treatment and survival over a 30-year period, and predicted their future cancer incidence. All 2 468 695 incident cancer cases during 1990 to 2019 were selected from the Netherlands Cancer Registry, of whom 386 611 were diagnosed in the oldest-old (16%). The incidence of the oldest-old was predicted until 2032. Net and overall survival (OS) were calculated. Patients were divided into four age groups (<80, 80-84, 85-89 and ≥90 years). The incidence of the oldest-old doubled between 1990 and 2019 and is expected to grow annually with 5% up to 2032. In virtually all cancers the share of oldest-old patients grew, but declined for prostate cancer (25% in 1990-1994 vs 13% in 2015-2019). The proportion of undetermined disease stage increased with age in most cancers. The application of systemic therapy increased, albeit less pronounced in the oldest-old than their younger counterparts (1990 vs 2019: 12%-34%, 3%-15%, 2%-7% and 1%-3% in <80, 80-84, 85-89 and ≥90 years old). Five-year OS of the oldest-old patients increased by 7 percentage points (to 26%) between 1990 to 1994 and 2015 to 2019 compared to 19 percentage points (to 63%) in <80 years old. The oldest-old cancer patients are a rapidly growing group who benefitted less from improvements in cancer treatment than younger patients, reflecting the multiple challenges faced in the care of the oldest-old.

    Abstract Objective: To provide a literature overview of characteristics of Shared Decision Making (SDM) with specific importance to the older adult population with cancer and to tailor an existing model of SDM in patients with cancer to the needs of older adults.
    Methods: A systematic search of several databases was conducted. Eligible studies described factors influencing SDM concerning cancer treatment with adults aged 65 years or above, with any type of cancer. We included qualitative or mixed-methods studies. Themes were identified and discussed in an expert panel, including a patient-representative, until consensus was reached on an adjusted model.
    Results: Overall 29 studies were included and nine themes were identified from the literature. The themes related to the importance of goal setting, need for tailored information provision, the role of significant others, uncertainty of evidence, the importance of time during and outside of consultations, the possible ill-informed preconceptions that health care professionals (HCPs) might have about older adults and the specific competencies they need to engage in the SDM process with older adults. No new themes emerged from discussion with expert panel. This study presents a visual model of SDM with older patients with cancer based on the identified themes.
    Conclusions: Our model shows key elements that are specific to SDM with older adults. Further research needs to focus on how to educate HCPs on the competencies needed to engage in SDM with older patients, and how to implement the model into everyday practice.

    Abstract Background: Immunotherapy with checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) has improved cancer treatment in recent years. Older and frail patients are frequently treated with ICIs, but since they have been underrepresented in previous clinical trials, the real impact of ICI in this patient group is not well defined. The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the evidence for associations between geriatric impairments and treatment outcomes in older patients with advanced and metastatic cancer treated with ICIs.
    Methods: A systematic search was conducted in PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, and Web of Science for relevant articles published before June 2022. Studies investigating the association between impairments in at least two geriatric domains and treatment outcome were considered eligible. Data extraction and risk of bias assessment using the QUIPS tool was performed independently by two investigators.
    Results: A total of nine studies were included. Median sample size of the studies was 92 patients (interquartile range (IQR) 47-113), with a median of 26 frail patients (IQR 21-35). Five studies investigated disease-related and survival outcomes, and two of them found a statistically significant association between geriatric impairments and either survival or disease progression. Eight studies investigated toxicity outcomes, and two of them showed a statistically significant association between geriatric impairments and immune-related adverse events (irAEs). Few studies suggested a relation between geriatric impairments and worse clinical outcomes.
    Conclusions: Only a few studies have investigated the association between geriatric impairments and treatment outcomes and these studies were small. Older patients with geriatric impairments seem to be more likely to experience irAEs, but larger studies that include frail patients and use geriatric screening tools are required to confirm this association. These studies will be essential to improve the development of specific strategies to deal with frail patients.

    Abstract Purpose: A substantial proportion of patients with cancer are older and experience multimorbidity. As the population is ageing, the management of older patients with multimorbidity including cancer will represent a significant challenge to current clinical practice.
    Methods: This study aimed to (1) identify which chronic health conditions may cause change in oncologic decision-making and care in older patients and (2) provide guidance on how to incorporate these in decision-making and care provision of older patients with cancer. Based on a scoping literature review, an initial list of prevalent morbidities was developed. A subsequent survey among healthcare providers involved in the care for older patients with cancer assessed which chronic health conditions were relevant and why.
    Results: A list of 53 chronic health conditions was developed, of which 34 were considered likely or very likely to influence decision-making or care according to the 39 healthcare professionals who responded. These conditions were further categorized into five patient profiles. From these conditions, five patient profiles were developed, namely, (1) a somatic profile consisting of cardiovascular, metabolic, and pulmonary disease, (2) a functional profile, including conditions that cause disability, dependency or a high caregiver burden, (3) a psychosocial profile, including cognitive impairment, (4) a nutritional profile also including digestive system diseases, and finally, (5) a concurrent cancer profile. All profiles were considered likely to impact decision-making with differences between treatment modalities. The impact on the care trajectory was generally considered less significant, except for patients with care dependency and psychosocial health problems.
    Conclusions: Chronic health conditions have various ways of influencing oncologic decision-making and the care trajectory in older adults with cancer. Understanding why specific chronic health conditions may impact the oncologic care trajectory can aid clinicians in the management of older patients with multimorbidity, including cancer.

    Abstract Polypharmacy is common in older adults with cancer and deprescribing potentially inappropriate medications becomes very relevant when life expectancy decreases due to metastatic disease. Especially preventive medications may no longer be beneficial, because they may decrease quality of life and reduction in morbidity and mortality may be futile. Although deprescribing of preventive medication is common in the last period of life, it is still unusual during active cancer treatment for advanced disease, although life expectancy is often limited to less than 1 to 2 years in that stage. We performed a systematic search of the literature in Pubmed and Embase on the discontinuation of commonly utilized groups of preventive medication and evaluated the evidence of potential benefits and harms in patients aged 65 years or older with cancer and a limited life expectancy (LLE). From 21 included studies, it can be concluded that deprescribing lipid lowering drugs, antihypertensive drugs, osteoporosis drugs and antihyperglycemic drugs is feasible in a considerable part of patients with a LLE. Discontinuation may be performed safely, without the occurrence of serious adverse events or decrease of survival. The only study that addressed quality of life after deprescribing showed that discontinuation of statins improves quality of life in patients with a LLE. Recurrence of symptoms requiring reintroduction occurred in 0-13% of patients on antihyperglycemic treatment and 8-60% of patients using antihypertensive drugs. In order to reduce pill burden and futile treatment clinicians should discuss deprescribing of preventive medication with older patients with advanced cancer and a LLE.

    Title translation Well-informed decision-making in cancer.
    Abstract Patients with cancer often do not have an accurate perception of their prognosis and the risks and side effects associated with potential treatments. Research has highlighted several reasons for these information gaps. Where more than one medically acceptable treatment is available, doctors may have a strong preference for a particular treatment option and steer the treatment decision by skewed information disclosure. Also, fear of the nocebo effect may prevent the provision of balanced information on side effects. Knowledge of prognosis is essential for making well-informed treatment decisions, but doctors may be reluctant to discuss limited life expectancy with their patients because they fear loss of hope and the deterioration of the doctor-patient relationship. Communication on these difficult subjects should be better integrated into medical training.

    Abstract Purpose: Palbociclib has become the standard of care for estrogen receptor-positive (ER+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (HER2-) metastatic breast cancer, but real-world evidence in older women remains scarce. Therefore, we investigated tolerability of palbociclib in older women with metastatic breast cancer.
    Methods: Consecutive women aged ≥ 70 with ER+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer, treated with palbociclib in any treatment line in six hospitals, were included. Primary endpoint was grade ≥ 3 palbociclib-related toxicity. Predictors of toxicity were identified using logistic regression models. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were estimated using Kaplan Meier.
    Results: We included 144 women with a median age of 74 years. Grade 3-4 toxicity occurred in 54% of patients, of which neutropenia (37%) was most common. No neutropenic fever or grade 5 toxicity occurred. Dose reduction during treatment occurred in 50% of patients, 8% discontinued treatment due to toxicity and 3% were hospitalized due to toxicity. Polypharmacy (odds ratio (OR) 2.50; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.12-5.58) and pretreatment low leukocytes (OR 4.81; 95% CI 1.27-18.21) were associated with grade 3-4 toxicity, while comorbidities were not. In first-line systemic therapy, median PFS was 12 months and median OS 32 months. In second-line, median PFS was 12 months and median OS 31 months.
    Conclusion: Although grade 3-4 toxicity and dose reductions occurred frequently, most were expected and managed by dose reductions, showing that palbociclib is generally well tolerated and thus represents a valuable treatment option in the older population.
