Abstract:
OBJECTIVE: 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.
RESULTS: 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.
摘要:
目的:本文旨在对老年肿瘤患者的最佳综合医学实践进行全面综述。鉴于人口老龄化和全球癌症发病率的上升,确定循证模式并采用综合方法来提高老年人的癌症结局和生活质量至关重要.
结果:据预测,到2050年,20.5%(690万)的新癌症病例将发生在80岁以上的成年人身上。值得注意的是,抗炎饮食和促进健康的肠道微生物群对整体健康结果有显著影响,增强身体对抗疾病的先天能力。这篇综述深入研究了有关综合方法及其对癌症预后和老年人生活质量的影响的进一步证据和外推。老年人癌症的复杂性和独特性需要医疗服务提供者的广泛支持。结合各种综合技术作为癌症治疗和副作用支持的一部分,可以改善健康结果和患者的生活质量。熟悉本评论中探讨的生活方式干预措施和其他主题使医疗保健提供者能够为患有癌症的老年患者提供量身定制的整体护理。
