Geriatric Implications of Surgical Oncology
AACN Advanced Critical Care, 2021Surgical oncology is cancer care that focuses on using surgery to diagnose, stage, and treat cancer and is one of the main treatments for malignancy. Patients older than 65 years are generally considered geriatric. The incidence of cancer in geriatric patients is increasing annually. Candidacy for surgical intervention depends on factors such as cancer
