大多数癌症都是老年性疾病。大约50%的癌症发生在65岁及以上的人群中。由于缺乏有关老年人对癌症的知识，态度和信仰的信息，福克斯蔡斯癌症中心的研究人员对335名60岁及以上的老年人进行了调查。我们发现，老年人持有一些错误的信念和消极的态度，可能会阻止他们寻求治疗潜在的癌症症状。我们在此报告调查结果以及根据这些结果制定的教育方案。
Most cancers are diseases of the aging. Approximately 50% of all cancers occur in persons 65years of age and older. Because of the paucity of information about knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs of older people about cancer, researchers at the Fox Chase Cancer Center surveyed 335 persons 60 years of age and older on these topics. We found that the elderly hold a number of false beliefs and negative attitudes that might keep them from seeking treatment for potential cancer symptoms. We report here on the survey findings and on the education program which was developed on the basis of those findings.
