This article reviews the clinical manifestations, diagnostic criteria, and treatment strategies for the acute leukemias, the myelodysplastic syndrome, Hodgkin's disease, and the non-Hodgkin's lymphomas in the elderly. These are relatively common diseases in the elderly, and age is traditionally thought to be a bad prognostic sign. The treatment of these diseases is more difficult in the elderly, but careful attention to concomitant underlying illness and general physical condition and the natural history of the diseases can result in very successful management of otherwise lethal disorders.
本文综述了老年人急性白血病、骨髓增生异常综合征、霍奇金病和非霍奇金淋巴瘤的临床表现、诊断标准及治疗策略。这些是老年人相对常见的疾病，传统上认为年龄是不良预后指标。这些疾病在老年人中治疗难度更大，但仔细关注伴随的基础疾病、一般身体状况以及疾病的自然史，可使原本致命的疾病得到非常成功的治疗。
