摘要：

Data on cancer that emphasize the impact of this disease on older persons in the context of an expanding aging population in the United States is described using population-based statistics on incidence and mortality. Sixty percent of all incident cancers and 70% of all cancer mortality occur in people 65 years and older. A combined cancer and aging epiemiologic perspective of the cancer burden for the elderly is given, providing a backdrop for the articles in this issue. There is an urgent need for special attention to older persons as a target group for the integration of aging and cancer research. A discussion on pertinent clinical issues and questions that should be considered in treatment of cancer in the elderly is also provided.
