The second is as a progressive reduction of functional reserve due to a progressive accumulation of deficit. In this construct it may be hard to distinguish frailty from aging.

Physiologic changes of aging which negatively impact body composition, strength, and fitness increase vulnerability to the development of short- and long-term disability when stressed with cancer burden and treatments. Treatment-associated physical disability impairs quality of life, limits therapeutic options, and contributes to the social and economic burden of cancer care in the elderly. Despite this, few clinical trials capture disability as an outcome or focus on whether it can be ameliorated in this population. Exercise has multiple positive effects on physical health and well-being in non-cancer elderly populations and holds promise as a supportive care intervention to improve physical function and symptoms during and after cancer treatments. The majority of studies supporting the positive benefits of exercise among cancer survivors have been performed in younger patients. Results from limited elderly-specific trials suggest that physical activity interventions are safe and effective in older cancer survivors, with prostate cancer survivors representing the best studied cohort of older persons with cancer. Many questions remain unanswered with respect to optimal timing, mode, intensity, and delivery of exercise interventions for older patients. While available data support the potential benefit of exercise for elders with cancer, recommendations will need to be individualized to optimize participation, safety, and efficacy.</p>","PeriodicalId":87437,"journal":{"name":"Interdisciplinary topics in gerontology","volume":"38 ","pages":"146-57"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1159/000343597","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"31314613","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) is a compilation of validated tools that predict morbidity and mortality in community-dwelling older adults. The various components of the CGA have also been shown to influence clinical decision-making and predict outcomes in older cancer patients. The combined data from the CGA can be used to stratify patients into risk categories to better predict their tolerance to treatment and risk for chemotherapy toxicity. However, the CGA is a comprehensive tool requiring significant time and training to perform. A variety of screening tools have been developed which may be useful in the general oncology practice setting to identify patients that may benefit from further testing and intervention.

Cancer arises from cells that proliferate in an unregulated manner, an attribute that is countered by cellular senescence. Cellular senescence is a potent tumor-suppressive process that halts the proliferation, essentially irreversibly, of cells at risk for malignant transformation. A number of anti-cancer drugs have emerged that induce tumor cells to undergo cellular senescence. However, although a senescence response can halt the proliferation of cancer cells, the presence of senescent cells in tissues has been associated with age-related diseases, including, ironically, late-life cancer. Thus, anti-cancer therapies that can induce senescence might also drive aging phenotypes and age-related pathology. The deleterious effects of senescent cells most likely derive from their senescence-associated secretory phenotype or SASP. The SASP entails the secretion of numerous inflammatory cytokines, growth factors and proteases that can render the tissue microenvironment favorable for tumor growth. Here, we discuss the beneficial and detrimental effects of inducing cellular senescence, and propose strategies for targeting senescent cells as a means to fight cancer.</p>","PeriodicalId":87437,"journal":{"name":"Interdisciplinary topics in gerontology","volume":"38 ","pages":"17-27"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1159/000343572","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"31315170","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
