在美国和大多数工业化国家,老年癌症是肿瘤学家们面临的一个棘手问题,据估计,包括美国在内的西方国家,诊断为癌症的患者半数以上>65岁,1/3的患者>70岁。美国目前>65岁的人仅占12%,在30年内,预计将有20%的人口达到此年龄。事实上,年龄从40到80岁,癌的发生率可增加1000倍,所有癌症患者死亡的平均年龄为67.9岁,其死亡率持续上升,而心脏疾病的死亡率则出现下降,显然有必要将医疗服务的重点放在不断增加的肿瘤人群上。
In the United States and most industrialized countries, cancer of the elderly is a thorny issue for oncologists. It is estimated that in Western countries including the United States, more than half of patients diagnosed with cancer are> 65 years old, and 1/3 of patients> 70 year old. The United States currently accounts for only 12% of people aged 65. In 30 years, it is estimated that 20% of the population will reach this age. In fact, from 40 to 80 years of age, the incidence of cancer can increase 1000-fold. The average age of all cancer deaths is 67.9 years. Mortality continues to rise, and the death rate of heart disease declines. Obviously it is necessary to The focus of medical services is on the growing population of tumors.
