In the fourth episode of the Aging Patient: Dispelling Myths podcast series, host Gareth Tucker and guest expert Prof Monica Engelhardt discuss how comprehensive geriatric assessment can guide treatment decisions and improve patient outcomes.

Dr Engelhardt gives us an insight into her clinical practice and how elderly hematology patients are receptive - or not - to this testing. You will also learn what are the parameters to consider when treating elderly patients for hematologic malignancies, e.g., how frailty can influence the outcomes of the treatment. Finally, Dr Engelhardt addresses the current pandemic situation regarding these patients: are older patients more vulnerable to COVID-19 when they are already suffering from hematological malignancies and under treatment?
