| Abstract (English): |
Clinical research in geriatric oncology is still in its very early stages. However, the heterogeneous nature of the aging process requires specific programs addressing both old and new therapies for elderly cancer patients. The “Programme d’action concertée d’oncogériatrie” (GERICO group), launched in 2002 by the French National Federation of Cancer Centres (FNCLCC), has acquired and demonstrated this specific experience. Other initiatives include those of cooperative groups such as the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) or the ARCAGY-GINECO group. New assessment criteria, focused on independence and quality of life, two key issues for the elderly, must be associated with the traditional axes of response and survival, whilst translational research is a key direction for future studies.

| Abstract (French): |
La recherche clinique en oncogériatrie est encore balbutiante. Pourtant, l’hétérogénéité du vieillissement justifie le développement de programmes spécifiques aux sujets âgés s’adressant aux thérapeutiques classiques et innovantes. Le programme d’action concertée d’oncogériatrie (PAC GERICO) de la Fédération nationale des centres de lutte contre le cancer (FNCLCC) lancé, en 2002, en est un exemple. D’autres initiatives existent dans plusieurs groupes coopérateurs comme à l’European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) ou dans le groupe ARCAGY-GINECO. Cette recherche conduit à réfléchir à de nouveaux critères d’évaluation plus orientés sur l’autonomie et la qualitédevie, deux volets essentiels pour la population âgée, en association aux critères carcinologiques traditionnels de réponse et de survie. La recherche de transfert est un axe essentiel de développement. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
