Relationship Between Age at Diagnosis and Treatments: Received by Cancer Patients
Abstract
Increases in cancer incidence and mortality reflect the larger numbers of elderly in the population. Using a mortality sample of 1891 biopsy‐confirmed cancer patients, analyses reveal older breast, prostate, and cervical‐uterine cancer victims were more likely to be diagnosed with metastases. Logistic regression analyses of subsamples of breast ( N = 224), lung ( N = 513), and colorectal ( N = 299) cancer patients indicate that age is significantly inversely related to receipt of both subsequent chemotherapy and radiation therapy, controlling for stage of disease and presence of co‐morbid disease. Exceptions to this relationship are the use of radiation therapy among nonmetastatic lung cancer patients and all breast cancer patients. The implications of these findings for current cancer control programs are discussed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
