Training and recognition
Practices within the National Clinical Research Center for Geriatrics at West China Hospital, which has integrated geriatric assessment into cancer care decisions for older patients — a relatively new but rapidly developing subspecialty in China; contributed to local protocols using G8 screening and Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) to guide chemotherapy intensity, surgical candidacy, and palliative pivot points in elderly cancer patients; participated in West China Hospital's multicenter studies on cancer treatment tolerability and outcomes in patients aged 70 and above; published in Chinese Journal of Geriatrics and Journal of Geriatric Oncology <!-- TODO: needs second source -->
What to expect
Elderly patients newly diagnosed with cancer often face decisions about whether to pursue full-intensity treatment, modified treatment, or supportive care. Dr. Lin's geriatric oncology approach evaluates physiological reserve, functional status, comorbidity burden, and patient priorities to guide individualized recommendations. This is particularly valuable for patients aged 75+ with multiple chronic conditions where standard oncology protocols may overestimate tolerability. Bring complete oncology workup, performance status documentation, and a clear statement of patient and family treatment goals.
