Abstract

Cancer and its treatment can be related to various digestive symptoms: nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and stomatitis/mucositis. In an older patient, these issues can be more difficult to tolerate and lead to various types of decompensation. In this chapter, we discuss their management and nutritional issues more specific to older patients.
