Abstract

This manuscript centers on what surgeons, patients, and hospital administrations want and need to know about the crucial role of functional recovery and patients’ reported outcome measure, above all in the elderly population. From all angles, it is clear that elderly patients are unique and their cancer care should be individualized and approached in a multidisciplinary fashion. Evaluation of patient fitness to undergo surgery should be undertaken in the elective and emergent settings. If patients are deemed fit for treatment, they should be offered the appropriate treatment, regardless of their age. This includes proceeding with surgery and/or chemotherapy and utilizing minimally invasive techniques, when appropriate. In addition, quality of life should be a priority in the care of elderly patients and patient-reported outcomes should be assessed and reported.
