Abstract

As the global population continues to age, the prevalence of cancer among older individuals becomes a significant public health concern. This abstract explores the multifaceted approach to cancer prevention in the elderly, emphasizing the importance of tailored strategies for promoting health and well-being [1]. The aging process brings about physiological changes that can increase susceptibility to cancer, making prevention strategies crucial for maintaining a high quality of life in later years.

This review outlines key components of a comprehensive cancer prevention plan for older individuals, incorporating lifestyle modifications, screening programs, and immunization strategies. Lifestyle interventions include dietary adjustments, physical activity promotion, and tobacco cessation, aiming to mitigate modifiable risk factors associated with cancer development. Additionally, the role of regular cancer screenings, taking into consideration the unique challenges and benefits for older adults, is explored [2]. Addressing the specific needs and concerns of older individuals in the context of cancer prevention is essential for optimizing the effectiveness of these interventions.

Furthermore, the abstract delves into the emerging field of geriatric oncology, highlighting the importance of personalized care plans that consider the individual’s overall health status, comorbidities, and functional abilities. Integrating preventive measures into routine healthcare for the elderly requires collaboration among healthcare professionals, caregivers, and the older individuals themselves [3].
