ABSTRACT

From the year 2000, the Republic of Korea has entered an age society, where the proportion of elderly people over 65 is over 7%. Elderly patients require careful treatment because their overall physical function is diminished, the morbidity of comorbidity is high, and the incidence of complications is high. The comprehensive geriatric assessment is required to predict treatment related toxicity, and it can help physician and surgeon to make an optimal treatment plan for individual elderly patient. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the surgical management of patients with head and neck cancer. (J Clinical Otolaryngol 2017;28:181–184)
