Ovarian cancer disproportionately affects women 65 years of age and older who are likely to have concomitant changes in physical ability, physiological functioning, and other chronic conditions associated with advancing age. The National Institute on Aging, National Cancer Institute, and the American Cancer Society cosponsored a multidisciplinary working conference, "Perspectives on Ovarian Cancer in Older-Aged Women: Current Knowledge and Recommendations for Research," at the National Institutes of Health on November 20-21, 1991 to confront the age-related aspects of ovarian cancer in epidemiology, etiology, clinical investigations, and patient management. Conference participants devoted attention to such special topics as drug resistance, dose intensity, patterns of care, and screening potential for ovarian cancer. After exploring these areas with existing data, the task was then to generate recommendations for research and practice. The scope of the conference and an introduction to the proceedings are presented in this paper.
卵巢癌对65岁及以上的女性影响尤为严重，这些女性可能同时存在身体能力、生理功能的变化以及与年龄增长相关的其他慢性疾病。美国国立衰老研究所、国立癌症研究所和美国癌症协会于1991年11月20日至21日在国立卫生研究院共同主办了一次多学科工作会议，即“老年女性卵巢癌的现状：当前知识及研究建议”，以探讨卵巢癌在流行病学、病因学、临床研究和患者管理方面与年龄相关的问题。会议参与者关注了诸如卵巢癌的耐药性、剂量强度、护理模式和筛查潜力等特殊主题。在用现有数据探讨这些领域之后，接下来的任务是提出研究和实践建议。本文介绍了会议的范围和会议议程。
