Treatment of elderly patient with advanced cancer includes considerable problems because of their limited life expectancy.
A 104-year-old woman with FIGO stage IIIB uterine cervical carcinoma treated with external beam radiotherapy and high dose-rate brachytherapy. After the treatment, the serum squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) antigen had fallen to normal level. She is now living 66 months after the treatment without recurrent symptoms.
In this specific case, the significance of this treatment is that the patient is surviving at the age of 109.
由于预期寿命有限，老年晚期癌症患者的治疗存在诸多问题。
一名104岁女性，国际妇产科联盟（FIGO）分期为IIIB期的子宫颈癌，接受了体外照射放疗和高剂量率近距离放疗。治疗后，血清鳞状细胞癌（SCC）抗原降至正常水平。她现在在治疗后已存活66个月，无复发症状。
在这个特殊病例中，这种治疗的意义在于患者在109岁时仍存活。
