- W2246463593 abstract "Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, accounting for over one million deaths annually [1]. An estimated 222,520 men and women in the USA will be diagnosed with lung cancer in 2010; the resultant 157,300 deaths exceed the mortality from cancers of the breast, colon, and prostate combined [2]. The majority of patients will present with advanced disease. At present, the median age at lung cancer diagnosis in the USA is 71 years of age, with 68% of patients being 65 years of age or older and 37% of patients being 75 years of age or older [2]. Clearly, lung cancer is primarily a disease of an older population. However, older patients continue to be underrepresented in clinical trials that establish standards of care and offer access to novel therapeutic approaches. There is a general tendency to treat elderly patients less intensively with “gentler” therapies or best supportive care alone, despite clinical studies suggesting that fit older patients derive as much benefit as their younger counterparts from aggressive approaches.KeywordsLung cancerOlder personsBarriers to treatmentSurgeryChemotherapySingle-agent chemotherapyDoublet chemotherapySalvage therapySmall cell lung cancer" @default.
