摘要：

With the growing population of adults over age 70 years, clinicians must know how to care appropriately for the increasing number of older patients with cancer. Although older adults have higher rates of surgical complications and chemotherapy-related toxicity, they should not be excluded from treatment opportunities based on age alone. Rather, patients should be assessed for fitness, or functional age, for a more accurate estimation of how they will tolerate treatment. This article discusses considerations clinicians should take into account when developing effective treatment plans that do not compromise quality of life for older patients with cancer.
