Mots clé s : Cancer de l'ovaireSujet â gé -É valuation gé riatriqueOvarian cancer in the elderly Abstract: Ovarian cancer is an excellent model in geriatric oncology because of its epidemiological characteristics. Increased age is associated with poorer prognoses, partly due to suboptimal treatments but also to independent factors detected during geriatric assessment. In the absence of specific prospective data, treatments validated in younger patients are considered standard in this heterogeneous and fragile population. Today, a contradiction exists between reassuring data obtained from the analysis of age subgroups in large therapeutic studies and analyses of real practice, frequently involving ongoing care using surgical and chemotherapeutic treatments. The advent of geriatric oncology has allowed the development of specific clinical studies and the establishment of a clinical/biological interface that will provide data for the improved adaptation of therapeutic strategies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
