Head and neck surgery in the elderly: a maturing problem
The Journal of Laryngology and Otology
|March 1, 1989
Abstract:
The number of elderly patients requiring oncologic head and neck surgery is increasing as this proportion of the population continues to grow. To establish the specific problems and relative risks, 100 patients, 70 years of age and over have been examined to determine post-operative mortality and morbidity. Results do not show these to be significantly increased in the elderly and support an aggressive approach to head and neck cancer management in these patients.
