- catalog abstract "Age is the most important known risk factor for malignancy and therefore as longevity increases cancer is becoming an ever worsening problem. Approximately one half of the common cancers occur in aged patients. However, paradoxically they are often excluded from clinical trials on grounds of 'frailty'. This book considers the relation between ageing and malignancy and brings together a breadth of international clinical research on cancer in the elderly. The management of common tumours is examined from the perspective of surgery, radiotherapy, and medical oncology. Additionally, the psychosocial problems of the elderly and the specific need for palliative care in older patients are discussed. Cancer in the elderly makes some recommendations for optimal treatment. Also, the authors have identified areas where knowledge is scarce and there is a need for both basic and applied research.".
