[The post-cancer period in geriatric oncology]. / L'après-cancer en oncogériatrie.

The increase in life expectancy together with the increased survival of patients with cancer is resulting in the emergence of a new population: that of cancer survivors whose health status is inferior to that of people not affected by this disease. The interaction between the cancer, the sequelae of the different treatments and other ageing-related health problems requires joint reflection on the best way of caring for this emerging geriatric population.
