AB - The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has led us to imagine the current scenario as something terrible, disastrous, but temporary. However, history teaches us that an event of this magnitude can only evolve towards “new” normality, a new equilibrium, but it will only be reached through a transition that will last over the years. In this scenario, the term “frailty”, which is known to few, has become common. The need for healthcare that, alongside high specialization, focuses on the complexity of the individual is increasingly intense. Geriatric oncology probably represents the clearest example of how much the current scenario has impacted the health and social fields, as it involves frail adults with cancer. How to draw the future?
