Brain tumour surgery in the elderly has a relatively poor outcome and a high complication rate. In spite of this, well-selected patients can benefit substantially from aggressive intervention, and the health care team must individualize treatment in every case. Using two case reports and a review of the relevant literature, the author presents a neurosurgical approach to selected elderly patients with brain tumours.
老年患者的脑肿瘤手术预后相对较差，并发症发生率较高。尽管如此，经过精心挑选的患者能够从积极干预中大幅获益，并且医疗团队必须针对每个病例进行个体化治疗。作者通过两个病例报告以及对相关文献的综述，介绍了针对特定老年脑肿瘤患者的神经外科手术方法。
