ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Prof Riccardo Audisio - President of the European Society for Surgical Oncology
Prof Audisio talks to ecancertv at ECC 2015 about optimising education about cancer surgery and the need to improve current standards as only 25% of patients receive adequate surgical care.
He also talks about the treatment of elderly patients, many of whom do not receive surgery even through they may be eligible. Assessing patients for frailty is important, he says, to determine their fitness to receive appropriate cancer care.
