Management of Hematological Cancer in Older People de Ulrich Wedding

Management of Hematological Cancer in Older People

Editat de Ulrich Wedding, Riccardo A. Audisio
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 3 dec 2014
The risk of cancer increases with age, and the number of older adults seeking treatment is increasing dramatically in line with the aging population. The care of older patients differs from that of younger adults because of differences in the biology of the tumor, age-related differences in host physiology, co-morbidity burden and psychosocial issues, which might impact the efficacy and side effects of cancer therapy. This book focuses on the management of hematological cancer and provides guidance on the management issues specific to older patients, spanning background and epidemiology, special considerations in the management of older people, therapeutics and psychosocial considerations.
