La Repubblica, the popular Italian newspaper, has featured ecancermedicalscience in an article on cancer in the elderly.
Dr Francesco Bertolini, director of the laboratory of Hematology-Oncology at the European Institute of Oncology, Milan, and ecancermedicalscience Editorial Board member, said "The problem of access to care standards and , at the same time, clinical research protocols tailor-made for elderly patients is now strongly felt among oncologists and hematologists. The elderly patient should be listened to carefully and often more effective treatments may be proposed and carried out successfully over demographic barriers that until a few years ago seemed insurmountable ."
