Mashup Score: 2Effect of octogenarian status on outcomes after robotic-assisted pulmonary lobectomy for primary lung cancer - 2 year(s) ago
There is a growing older adult population in the US, with those over 65 years increasing by about 35% in the past 30 years. Consequently, the proportion of octogenarians has gradually increased, with about 4% of the US population within that age group in 2021. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer mortality. In 2018, the rate of new lung cancers was second highest in the 80–84 year-old age…

Mashup Score: 0Functional decline and resilience in older adults over the age of 70 receiving radiotherapy for breast cancer: A pilot study - 2 year(s) ago
Radiotherapy (RT) as an adjuvant, post-lumpectomy treatment has been shown to improve local control and survival in people with breast cancer. While adverse events because of cancer treatments are common, many older adults have demonstrated the ability to return to their baseline levels of physical functioning. There are limited reports on the functional decline and recovery of older patients…

Mashup Score: 2Older adults with advanced cancer report pain not captured by clinician-graded Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) - 2 year(s) ago
Older patients with cancer frequently suffer from pain and often receive inadequate pain management [1]. The National Cancer Institute’s (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) is the standard approach used by clinicians and trialists to report adverse events (AEs) during cancer therapy, including pain. However, clinicians and trialists using the CTCAE often underestimate the…

Mashup Score: 9Sarcopenia in older patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and its association with response to treatment: A cohort study - 2 year(s) ago
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common histologic subtype of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in the adult population, accounting for 30–40% of cases in Western countries. At the time of diagnosis, the median age is 66 years and on average, 30% of patients are older than 75 years [1].

Mashup Score: 11
Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related death in the US with an increasing incidence in older adults (OA) over age 70. There are currently no treatment guidelines for OA with metastatic pancreatic cancer (mPCA) and selecting a chemotherapy regimen for these patients is subjective, based largely on chronologic age and performance status (PS). Geriatric screening tools…

Mashup Score: 15Feasibility and acceptability of remote symptom monitoring (RSM) in older adults during treatment for metastatic prostate cancer - 2 year(s) ago
Emerging data support multiple benefits of remote symptom monitoring (RSM) during chemotherapy to improve outcomes. However, these studies have not focused on older adults and do not include treatments beyond chemotherapy. Although chemotherapy, androgen receptor axis-targeted therapies (ARATs), and radium-223 prolong survival, toxicities are substantial and increased in older adults with…
