  • Title: [Treatment of gynecologic cancer in elderly patients].
    Author: Ochiai K.
    Journal: Gan To Kagaku Ryoho; 1998 Jun; 25(7):990-4. PubMed ID: 9644312.
    Abstract:
    Due to the increasingly elderly population and prolonged life span of women in Japan, population of women older than 75 years of age has become 7.3% of all female population in 1995. According to this change, elderly patients with gynecologic malignancies, such as cervical cancer, endometrial cancer and ovarian cancer have increased markedly. Those patients tend to have progressed disease and therefore treatments should be less invasive and tailored based upon individual conditions to maintain their quality of life.
