With the accelerating trend of population aging, the number of elderly patients with lung cancer continues to rise, and the disease burden is becoming increasingly heavy. The clinical management of these patients faces severe challenges due to their decreased physiological reserve, complex comorbidities, and significant individual heterogeneity. Consequently, under traditional diagnosis and treatment models, doctors often struggle to identify the individualized risks of elderly patients in a timely and comprehensive manner, which can easily lead to decision biases such as undertreatment or overtreatment. In view of this, this study advocates for the establishment of an umbrella decision-making model specifically tailored for elderly lung cancer patients. Grounded in a multidisciplinary team (MDT) platform, this model deeply integrates oncological indicators with the comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) system. By holistically considering multidimensional variables including tumor burden, organ function, frailty index, cognitive status, and social support, the model establishes an operational mechanism characterized by "single entry, precise stratification, and targeted selection". Accordingly, patients can be scientifically triaged into distinct intervention tiers, such as active surveillance, minimally invasive surgery, drug therapy, radiotherapy, and best supportive care, thereby achieving real-time alignment between treatment intensity and patient fitness. This article elaborates on the construction logic and key operational procedures of this novel decision-making framework, aiming to guide clinical practice beyond the limitations of a tumor-centric perspective toward a holistic, dynamic, whole-course management strategy. This transition seeks to ensure optimal quality of life and clinical net benefit for elderly patients alongside survival prolongation.

Objective:To investigate the prognostic value of deep learning-based automated quantification of tumor-stroma ratio (TSR) in patients undergoing neoadjuvant therapy (NAT) for breast cancer.Methods:Specimens were collected from 209 breast cancer patients who received NAT at Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University from October 2019 to June 2023. TSR levels in pre-NAT biopsy specimens were automatically computed using a deep learning algorithm and categorized into low stroma (TSR≤30%), intermediate stroma (TSR 30% to ≤60%), and high stroma (TSR>60%) groups. Residual cancer burden (RCB) grading of post-NAT surgical specimens was determined to compare the relationship between TSR expression levels and RCB grades. The correlation of TSR with NAT efficacy was analyzed, and the association between TSR expression and patient prognosis was further investigated.Results:There were 85 cases with low stroma (TSR≤30%), 93 cases with intermediate stroma (TSR 30% to ≤60%), and 31 cases with high stroma (TSR>60%). Different TSR expression levels showed significant differences between various RCB grades ( P<0.05). Logistic univariate and multivariate analyses showed that TSR was a risk factor for obtaining a complete pathological remission from neoadjuvant therapy for breast cancer when it was used as a continuous variable ( P<0.05); COX regression and survival analyses showed that the lower the percentage of tumorigenic mesenchyme was, the better the prognosis of the patient was ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The deep learning-based model enables automatic and accurate quantification of TSR. A lower pre-treatment tumoral stroma is associated with a lower RCB score and a higher rate of pathologic complete response, indicating that TSR can predict the efficacy of neoadjuvant therapy in breast cancer and thus holds prognostic significance. Therefore, TSR may serve as a biomarker for predicting therapeutic outcomes in breast cancer neoadjuvant therapy.
