OBJECTIVES
To provide an overview of cancer genomics and cancer screening in older adults with a focus on breast, prostate, and colon cancers.
DATA SOURCES
Journal articles, research articles, and web sites.
CONCLUSION
Cancer screening in older populations is often in the context of one or more co-morbid conditions, cancer survivorship, genomic information, and competing health priorities. The field of cancer screening has outgrown the tools available to enable health care providers and older adults to make informed cancer screening decisions. Research is needed to develop clinical screening tools that integrate age, cancer risk, life expectancy, and comorbidity.
IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE
Health care providers are faced with opportunities and challenges in the prevention and early detection of cancer in older Americans.
目标
概述老年人群的癌症基因组学和癌症筛查，重点关注乳腺癌、前列腺癌和结肠癌。
数据来源
期刊文章、研究论文和网站。
结论
老年人群的癌症筛查通常处于一种或多种合并症、癌症幸存者情况、基因组信息以及相互竞争的健康优先事项的背景下。癌症筛查领域已经发展到现有工具无法满足需求的程度，这些工具应能帮助医疗保健提供者和老年人做出明智的癌症筛查决策。需要开展研究以开发整合年龄、癌症风险、预期寿命和合并症的临床筛查工具。
对护理实践的启示
医疗保健提供者在预防和早期发现美国老年人癌症方面面临机遇和挑战。
