Elder abuse is an intentional act or failure to act that causes or creates harm to an older adult and can be physical, emotional, financial, sexual, or neglect. It is common, impacting 1 in 10 community dwelling adults and can cause significant morbidity and mortality. Unfortunately, abuse is often underreported by patients and unrecognized by providers.
The population is aging and the current US health care system is not prepared to meet the needs of the rapidly growing number of older adults, a fact that is particularly true for oncology. Adults age 65 and over account for 50-60% of newly diagnosed cancer cases and 70% of all cancer deaths. Older adults with cancer are different from younger adults with cancer due to altered physiology, increased risk for functional and cognitive impairment, higher likelihood of co-morbidity, increased risk for side effects from cancer directed treatment, and differing goals of care.
