Impact of age on elderly patients with oral cancer

European Archives of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology Nov 10, 2018

Malik A, et al. - In this retrospective analysis of 140 elderly (> 65 years) patients with oral cancer operated on between January 2012 and December 2013, researchers focused on the impact of age on various clinico-pathological parameters, completion of treatment, and subsequent survival. Patients of oral cancer ≤ 70 and > 70 years of age displayed no difference in the distribution of various clinico-pathological factors and survival; survival was not affected by age. The advised adjuvant therapy could be completed by most patients, but it is still not received/completed by significantly more number of patients > 70 years. They recommend considering an individual’s performance status and co-morbidities while tailoring treatment.
