Retrospective Evaluation of Geriatric Oncology Cases Hospitalized in the Clinic

Objective & Hypothesis:Background: The aim of the present study was to retrospectively evaluate geriatric oncology cases hospitalized in the clinic.Methods: Files of oncology patients hospitalized between May 2012 and March 2013 were analyzed.

📊

Key Findings & Data:Demographic data was recorded, including the 5 most common types of cancer according to gender, duration of hospitalization, and prognosis of patients diagnosed at 65 years of age or older.Results: The 5 most common types of cancer in male patients (28.3%, n=17) were hematological malignancies (21.7%, n=13), lung cancer (13.3%, n=8), colon cancer (10%, n=6), bladder cancer (8.3%, n=12) and prostate cancer.

💡

Conclusion & Impact:The most common cancer type in both men and women in the present study was hematologic malignancy.

Abstract

Background: The aim of the present study was to retrospectively evaluate geriatric oncology cases hospitalized in the clinic.Methods: Files of oncology patients hospitalized between May 2012 and March 2013 were analyzed. Demographic data was recorded, including the 5 most common types of cancer according to gender, duration of hospitalization, and prognosis of patients diagnosed at 65 years of age or older.Results: The 5 most common types of cancer in male patients (28.3%, n=17) were hematological malignancies (21.7%, n=13), lung cancer (13.3%, n=8), colon cancer (10%, n=6), bladder cancer (8.3%, n=12) and prostate cancer. The 5 most common types of cancer in female patients (26.7%, n=12), were hematological malignancies, colon cancer (24.4%, n=11), breast cancer (13.3%, n=6), lung cancer (11.1%, n=5), and bladder cancer (4.4%, n=2).Conclusion: In cases of geriatric oncology, incidence of cancer types may also vary. The most common cancer type in both men and women in the present study was hematologic malignancy.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada, kliniğimize yatırılmış olan geriatrik onkoloji olgularını geriye dönük olarak değerlendirmeyi amaçladık.Gereç ve Yöntem: Mayıs 2012-Mart 2013 tarihleri arasında kliniğimize yatırılmış olan onkoloji hastalarının dosyaları tarandı. Altmış beş yaş ve üzerinde tanı almış olan hastaların demografik verileri, cinsiyete göre en sık saptanan ilk beş kanser türleri, hastanede yatış süreleri ve prognozları kayıt altına alındı.Bulgular: Erkek hastalarda %28.3 (n=17) ile hematolojik maligniteler, %21.7 (n=13) ile akciğer kanseri, %13.3 (n=8) ile kolon kanseri, %10 (n=6) ile mesane kanseri ve %8.3 (n=5) ile prostat kanseri en sık beş kanser tipi olarak tespit edildi. Kadın hastalarda ise ilk beş sırada %26.7 ile hematolojik maligniteler (n=12), %24.4 ile kolon kanserleri (n=11), %13.3 ile meme kanseri (n=6), %11.1 ile akciğer kanseri (n=5) ve %4.4 ile mesane kanserinin (n=2) olduğu saptandı.Sonuç: Geriatrik onkoloji olgularında kanserlerin görülme sıklıkları da değişkenlik gösterebilir. Çalışmamızda erkek ve kadınlarda en sık hematolojik maligniteler tespit edildi.
