The Oncology Podcast - Delivering Oncology News Differently

Welcome to Episode 12 in our Experts On Point podcast series brought to you by The Oncology Podcast. 

How does ageism affect older adults with cancer? What impact does bias have on treatment options and outcomes? If you recognise ageist attitudes, what can you do to combat it? How does the language we use with older people affect their health? What country is the most ageist?

Our Host Rachael Babin explores all of these facets with Dr Michael Krasovitsky, a medical oncologist specialising in geriatric oncology, as well as upper gastrointestinal tract cancers and breast cancers. 

This is a powerful, enlightening and uplifting episode that we hope you’ll enjoy listening to.
