Older adults with lung cancer experience inferior clinical outcomes compared to their younger counterparts. This review provides the scaffolding to address these disparities by delineating (1) the distinct and varied care needs of older adults with lung malignancies, (2) evidence-based measures for identifying subgroups within this population meriting tailored approaches to care, (3) age-specific considerations for the selection of cancer-directed therapy, and (4) opportunities for future work to enhance clinical outcomes and care delivery.
与年轻的肺癌患者相比，老年肺癌患者的临床结局较差。本综述通过阐述以下内容，为解决这些差异提供了框架：（1）老年肺癌患者独特且多样的护理需求；（2）识别该人群中值得采用针对性护理方法的亚组的循证措施；（3）癌症导向治疗选择中的年龄特异性考量；（4）未来工作中改善临床结局和护理服务的机会。
