Systemic challenges facing the hematological oncology in the context of an aging population in Poland

Abstract

The aging population and the increasing incidence of hematological malignancies is a challenge for the health care system in Poland. New medical technologies offer opportunities for patients above 65 years of age. Their use, however, requires careful research and confirm their usefulness in the context of current therapeutic guidelines. The requirement for patient access to modern medical technologies is to optimize operations and adequate funding of the healthcare system. It appears that the area of oncological hematology can be a model for effective solutions to the system, with the patient, as the subject of the system.
