Abstract
Ageism is a problem facing elderly individuals. Often adults who develop cancer later in life are not given the same treatment options, such as chemotherapy, as younger cancer patients. Many studies have been conducted in order to prove or disprove this theory of age discrimination in elderly cancer patients. Some believe the reason for the difference in treatment options is because the doctors are genuinely concerned for the well being of their patients; however others believe age discrimination is the cause.
