Postoperative Functional Decline in Elderly Patients with Head and Neck Cancer
Received Date: Jul 01, 2024 / Published Date: Jul 30, 2024
Abstract
Head and neck cancer (HNC) poses a significant challenge to elderly patients due to the potential for postoperative functional decline. This study aims to investigate the prevalence, risk factors, and impact of functional decline in elderly patients following surgical interventions for HNC. We analyze the correlation between preoperative health status, surgical complexity, and postoperative recovery to identify strategies for mitigating functional decline in this vulnerable population.
