老年人口数量的增加和寿命的延长要求对这一群体的癌症治疗进行改进，并可能采用更个性化的方法。老年患者经常出现一些合并症，并发症的手术和化疗的耐受性。就卵巢癌而言，老年妇女的病情较晚期，因此提供适当的治疗而不造成重大发病率的问题至关重要。大多数研究支持标准护理治疗对老年卵巢癌妇女的应用，但它似乎很少在老年人中提供。本综述的目的是研究标准护理治疗在老年女性卵巢癌中的应用和结果。其目的是最终改善这一群体的治疗方法。
The rising number and increasing longevity of the elderly population calls for improvements and potentially a more personalized approach to the treatment of cancer in this group. Elderly patients frequently present with a number of comorbidities, complicating surgery and chemotherapy tolerability. In the case of ovarian cancer, elderly women present with more advanced disease, making the issue of providing adequate treatment without significant morbidity critical. Most studies support the application of standard of care treatment to elderly women with ovarian cancer, yet it seems to be offered less frequently in the elderly. The objective of this review is to examine the application and outcome of standard of care treatment in elderly women with ovarian cancer. The aim is to ultimately improve the approach to treatment in this group.
