Introduction

In the world, there were about new cases of oral squamous cell carcinoma that were the number of elderly patients is anticipated to rise more as the population ages. Age, illness progression, the patient's physical condition, nutritional state, and desire all factor into the treatment plan for The best course of action for individuals with respectable and a favourable prognosis is surgery. Although the results of surgical therapy in senior patients are almost identical to those in younger people, it is not obvious if curative surgery, which may increase risks and toxicities, is desirable. Chronological age alone is regarded to be an inaccurate measure for decisionmachining. According to German several investigations have revealed that older people with head Based solely on age, older people with cancer are less likely than younger people to obtain possibly curative therapy. Yet, the Panel came to the conclusion that chronologic age is not a reliable decision-making criterion on its own. More significant consideration should be given to the patient's physical condition and psychological profile, and a complete preoperative examination and risk assessment are necessary. Hence, just like younger patients, older individuals should be given access to therapeutic alternatives with a curative goal. In order to determine the elements that have a substantial influence on older patients' decision-making on treatment methods using decision tree analysis and the resulting treatment results, we retrospectively analysed the treatment strategies and outcomes in this study. The purpose of this study was to identify key variables that influence whether elderly individuals receive curative surgery or non-surgical care for adequate

Discussion

Patients with who attended the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at the University of Tsukuba Hospital during the preceding four years and were at least years old were included in this retrospective cohort research. The 8th edition of the classification of the served as the foundation for both the TN classification and stage classification. After a medical interview, oral surgeons judged performance status using the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group score as follows: PS 0: totally functional and capable of doing as they did before the sickness. Prohibited from physically demanding exercise yet mobile and able to perform light or sedentary job. PS 2: able to move about and perform full selfcare, but unable to perform any work-related duties [1].

During the day: unable to provide adequate self-care; spending more than 50% of waking hours in bed or a chair. PS 4: utterly unable of doing any self-care; confined to bed or chair The major end variable was deciding on surgery as the course of therapy, and the prognosis for each group was the secondary result. PS, clinical stage, and serum albumin were the main predictive factors. Patients with are typically treated with surgery as a Depending on the patient's condition, radical surgery with or without chemo/radiotherapy was undertaken. Patients who were under 80 years old and in good overall health received chemotherapy. Radiotherapy was the best supportive care or nearly non-curative non-surgical option. On the basis of the tumour stage, the therapy was chosen [2].

Underlying illness status, main site, TN classification, stage classification, nutritional condition serum albumin level, and Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index body mass index] was among the variables statistically compared between the surgery and nonsurgical groups. Recent updates to the Charlson Comorbidity Index and its survival rate this study comprised patients with primary who attended the University of Tsukuba Hospital's Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery over a period and were at least years old. Of these patients, had surgery for curative treatment; the other patients—8 receiving palliative care—were treated with radiation, chemoradiotherapy, and just radiotherapy.

Males and females made up the surgical group, whereas men and females made up the non-surgical group. At the initial visit, the average age was years. Depending on their age, the patients were split into four groups85 or older. There was no discernible difference in the four groups' chosen treatments there was no discernible difference in the four groups' chosen treatments. In the surgical group, the mandibular gingiva was the most frequent main site, followed by the tongue. Mandibular gingiva was likewise the most prevalent in the non-surgery group, followed by buccal mucosa. Between the two groups, there was no discernible difference in the manner of therapy Based on decision tree analysis; the findings of this study reveal that PS, stage categorization, and Alb are factors influencing the choice of surgery in elderly patients with. Curative surgery is the suggested course of treatment for people with this condition. Contrarily, non-surgical therapy is suggested for those with The PS is an indication that, based on the extent of daily activity limitation, can offer a simple, thorough assessment of overall conditions. Surgery may not be performed when PS gets worse since it is thought that there would be a poor surgical tolerance and a subsequent drop in postoperative PS. Elderly people with poor general health are thought to have a higher prevalence of advanced cancer cases such Stages III and IV, which more than only suggests that disease identification is delayed [3].

This is likely due to social, economic, and societal variables including the necessity for an attendant, as well as social aspects like the elderly's lack of knowledge of their medical condition. Because the factors are placed hierarchically and automatically chosen in order of their significant effect on the target variable, decision tree analysis makes it simple to grasp the reciprocal interactions between components. A decision tree can be utilised to help decide on a treatment strategy by itself as a bad independent prognostic factor for since it is simple to grasp visually. They came to the conclusion that curative therapy might provide positive results in extremely old patients and that advanced chronological age alone should not exclude patients from getting treatment .The in our investigation is the. The majority of the studies in this review used one of two pre-processing techniques: either averaging normalizing the signal or applying filters to eliminate unwanted signals [4].

Nutritional status can be used to evaluate postoperative complications risk, wound healing, and immunological function. Many indicators, including as morbidity, surgical recovery, functional impairment, duration of hospital stay, and death, have been linked to poor nutritional status. In addition, as the physical and social impacts of the disease commonly result in poor nutritional status among the elderly and ill, a preoperative nutritional assessment may be crucial in selecting the course of therapy for senior cancer patients. Alb is a marker of mid- to long-term nutritional status and has a half-life of around days. As inflammation and cancer restrict the formation of liver albumin, it is also a sign of cachexia. Because of this, a drop in Alb levels in individuals with may be caused by either starvation [5].

Conclusion

In patients with, poor nutritional condition is linked to tumour development and survival. As compared to the findings in their counterparts, patients with low blood Alb levels before treatment had almost six-fold higher chances of tumour progression and overall and cancer-specific death. Alb is an easy and relevant criterion in selecting a treatment strategy for older patients since in this study, individuals with lower Alb levels were significantly picked for the non-surgery group. The risk of malnutrition and death in patients can be predicted using a straightforward screening procedure based on Alb levels and the patient's current and optimal body weight. In individuals with than high was linked to a bad prognosis the nutritional indicators.
