Abstract:
The quality of life of elderly patients with lung cancer can be affected by various symptoms such as frailty, coexistence of multiple diseases, malnutrition, and decreased function.Identifying these potential problems through reasonable and effective assessment, and providing early intervention and symptom management, can help improve the quality of life of patients.Although several methods have been developed, applied, and clinically verified to evaluate the quality of life in elderly patients with lung cancer, they all have their limitations.Therefore, choosing the appropriate evaluation method has become a practical challenge in clinical settings.This article aims to review the different methods used to assess the quality of life of elderly patients with lung cancer, providing theoretical guidance for clinicians and researchers.
