Developing countries like India are witnessing a demographic transition resulting in population ageing. This population expansion will in future increase the burden of diseases more prevalent in older patients. Since cancer incidence increases with age, a surge in geriatric patients with cancer will soon overburden the health care system of our country.

We stress upon the need for specialised care of these patients in India.
