Abstract

Purpose of review: This article aims to offer a comprehensive review of optimal integrative medicine practices for geriatric oncology patients. Given the aging population and the global rise in cancer incidence, it is crucial to identify evidence-based modalities and employ an integrated approach to enhance cancer outcomes and quality of life in older adults.

Recent findings: It has been predicted that 20.5% (6.9 million) of new cancer cases in 2050 will occur in adults over 80 years old.1 The increasing focus on lifestyle factors in healthy aging has shed light on various overlooked areas of significance. Notably, anti-inflammatory diets and the promotion of a healthy gut microbiome have demonstrated significant impacts on overall health outcomes, bolstering the body's innate capacity to combat disease. This review delves into further evidence and extrapolation concerning integrative approaches and their influence on cancer outcomes and older adults quality of life. The complexity and unique nature of cancer in older adults requires a wide range of support from medical providers. Incorporating various integrative techniques as part of cancer treatment and side effect support can improve health outcomes and patient's quality of life. Familiarity with the lifestyle interventions and other topics explored in this review equips healthcare providers to offer tailored and holistic care to geriatric patients navigating cancer.

老年综合肿瘤学:当前做法回顾。
综述目的:本文旨在全面综述针对老年肿瘤患者的最佳综合医疗实践。鉴于人口老龄化和全球癌症发病率的上升,确定循证医学模式并采用综合方法来提高老年人的癌症治疗效果和生活质量至关重要:据预测,2050 年新增癌症病例的 20.5%(690 万)将发生在 80 岁以上的成年人身上。1 人们越来越关注健康老龄化中的生活方式因素,这揭示了各种被忽视的重要领域。值得注意的是,抗炎饮食和促进健康的肠道微生物组对整体健康结果产生了重大影响,增强了人体对抗疾病的内在能力。本综述深入探讨了有关综合疗法及其对癌症治疗效果和老年人生活质量影响的进一步证据和推断。老年人癌症的复杂性和独特性要求医疗服务提供者提供广泛的支持。将各种综合技术作为癌症治疗和副作用支持的一部分,可以改善健康状况和患者的生活质量。熟悉本综述中探讨的生活方式干预及其他主题有助于医疗服务提供者为老年癌症患者提供量身定制的整体护理。

期刊介绍: This journal aims to review the most important, recently published clinical findings in the field of oncology. By providing clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts, the journal intends to serve all those involved in the care of those affected by cancer. We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas, such as cancer prevention, leukemia, melanoma, neuro-oncology, and palliative medicine. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Commentaries from well-known figures in the field are also provided.
