| Popis: | Objectives To provide an overview of the trajectory of select biomarkers and their potential usefulness in symptom management in the older individual with cancer. Data Sources Empirical data and literature review. Conclusion Biomarkers offer significant opportunities to understand the biological impact of cancer and its treatment on older adults whose response is likely different from their younger counterparts. Large well-designed multi-site clinical trials with adequate numbers and power are necessary to create evidenced-based practice changes. Implications for Nursing Practice Nurses need to understand the science and implications of biomarkers to develop interventions in response to the mechanisms of symptoms experienced by older adults with cancer. |
