Abstract

The discovery of a cancer for which there is no immediate curative option is a frequent occurrence in the elderly.

Keywords: advanced practice nurse; coordination; early palliative care; infirmier en pratique avancée; oncogeriatrics; oncogériatrie; parcours; pathway; soins palliatifs précoces.
