Abstract

Geriatric oncology patients encounter many comorbidities associated with aging. These comorbidities cause multiple drug use, which is defined as polypharmacy. Polypharmacy complicates the treatment and care process and reduces the quality of life of patients. At the same time, it increases the risk of mortality by negatively affecting the prognosis of cancer. Evaluation and management of such a complex process requires a multidisciplinary approach. In this article; Evaluation of polypharmacy in geriatric oncology patients, complications of polypharmacy, drug-drug and drug-food interactions, its effect on oncological prognosis and effective management of the process are discussed.

Özet

Geriatrik onkoloji hastaları, yaşlanma ile ilişkili birçok komorbidite ile karşılaşmaktadır. Bu komorbiditeler, çoklu ilaç kullanımı olarak tanımlanan polifarmasiye neden olmaktadır. Polifarmasi; tedavi ve bakım sürecini zorlaştırarak, hastaların yaşam kalitesini azaltmaktadır. Aynı zamanda kanserin prognozunu olumsuz etkileyerek mortalite riskini arttırmaktadır. Bu denli kompleks bir sürecin değerlendirilmesi ve yönetimi, multidisipliner bir yaklaşım gerektirmektedir. Bu makalede; geriatrik onkoloji hastalarında polifarmasinin değerlendirilmesi, polifarmasinin komplikasyonları, ilaç-ilaç ve ilaç-besin etkileşimleri, onkolojik prognoza etkisi ve sürecin etkin bir şekilde yönetilmesi ele alınmıştır.
