癌症是60岁至79岁老年人的主要死因。某些癌症的生物学和对治疗的反应性会随着患者的年龄而变化。高龄本身不应排除使用有效的治疗方法，以提高生活质量或延长有意义的生存。管理老年癌症患者的挑战是评估在预期寿命和压力耐受性下降的人群中，治疗的预期好处是否优于风险。这些指南为老年癌症患者提供了一种基于综合老年评估的决策方法，并在老年人某些癌症类型的管理中包括了与年龄相关的疾病具体问题。
Cancer is the leading cause of death in older adults aged 60 to 79 years. The biology of certain cancers and responsiveness to therapy changes with the patient's age. Advanced age alone should not preclude the use of effective treatment that could improve quality of life or extend meaningful survival. The challenge of managing older patients with cancer is to assess whether the expected benefits of treatment are superior to the risk in a population with decreased life expectancy and decreased tolerance to stress. These guidelines provide an approach to decision-making in older cancer patients based on comprehensive geriatric assessment and also include disease specific issues related to age in the management of some cancer types in older adults.
