CureToday.com: Spring 2007 Article - "The Age Factor" Sorry that would've been helpful... lol here's the link for the article. Thank you so much for that! I really did not know where to start and that pretty much sums up the point I am trying to get across.

that's the thing... I am not sure exactly what "teaching" I can do with a topic like this. I can reinforce not to be quick to jump to a conclusion such as no treatment options.. but how should I go about doing so??

Hello All, I am a brand new member to this website and am seeking other student's or nurses' opinions on a teaching project. I am in my third semester of the nursing program at my school and I am to present to my clinical group an article I was given to read and "react" to. Anyway the article is about the bias against the older population once they are stricken with a CA diagnosis. Many oncologists look at their chances of survival as slim due to many elder's preexisting comorbidities. As prospective medical personal we know there are many ways around treatment even for the most complex patient. There is a chart in the article which describes the possible consequences the various chemotherapies may have on the older adult (such as adriamycin on someone with HF, etc.) I wanted to blow this chart up and hand it out but am not sure WHERE to go from there!? PLEASE help any input would be greatly appreciated!!
