Older adults with lung cancer experience inferior clinical outcomes compared to their younger counterparts. This review provides the scaffolding to address these disparities by delineating (1) the distinct and varied care needs of older adults with lung malignancies, (2) evidence-based measures for identifying subgroups within this population meriting tailored approaches to care, (3) age-specific considerations for the selection of cancer-directed therapy, and (4) opportunities for future work to enhance clinical outcomes and care delivery.
与年轻患者相比,老年肺癌患者的临床结局较差。本综述通过阐述以下四个方面,为解决这些差异提供框架:(1) 老年肺癌患者独特且多样化的照护需求;(2) 识别该群体中需要个体化照护亚群的循证方法;(3) 选择癌症针对性治疗时的年龄特异性考量;(4) 未来改善临床结局和照护实施的研究方向。
