  • Title: Gastrointestinal cancer in the elderly.
    Author: Wallach CB, Kurtz RC.
    Journal: Gastroenterol Clin North Am; 1990 Jun; 19(2):419-32. PubMed ID: 2163983.
    Abstract:
    The older patient population, aged 70 years and greater, represent a large proportion of patients diagnosed with gastrointestinal malignancies. Surgery remains the mainstay of treatment for these malignancy sites. Chronologic age alone should not determine the extent of surgical or medical management. The authors describe those aspects of gastrointestinal cancer detection and therapy that are unique to the aging population.
