Abstract
Elderly patients with urologic cancer are often undertreated because of their age. Recently, many studies showed that advanced age is not an absolute contraindication to radical surgery for bladder and prostate cancer patients. For small renal cancers, instead, active surveillance with a close follow-up may be a valid alternative to surgery because of a low risk of progression. Patients' selection remains a crucial step to define the best treatment. This article summarizes the new tendencies of urologic cancer management in elderly patients.
