Cancer in geriatrics
Abstract
Adrian P Hunis
Cancer is today the leading cause of death in the West and is a problem that is constantly increasing in old age, mainly due to the higher average life expectancy in first world countries and to a lesser extent in others. In the development of cancer in the elderly, the degree of tumor growth, the greater susceptibility of tissues to environmental carcinogens and the changes in the body that favor the formation and progression of cancer must be taken into account.
