ROME—The idea that clinical evidence can be biased was under scrutiny — at the Rome Conference on Blood Cancer In The Elderly — by Professor Lodovico Balducci, Director of the Senior Adult Oncology Program at the Moffitt Cancer Center, University of South Florida, Tampa. He explains to ecancer radio why doctors need to look critically at clinical trial evidence before using it to influence clinical decision-making. He also talks about the need to individualise therapy for older patients with cancer by combining the efforts of different specialists, including care-givers.
