Postoperative lung infection in an immunocompromised older adult patient with lung cancer after oncological surgery: a case report
2021
Annals of Palliative Medicine
China is gradually becoming an aging society with the change in the demographics of its population. This is a concern because older adult patients tend to have weaker immune systems. In particular, in patients with malignancies, both the malignant tumor itself and the surgical treatment can contribute to further impairments in immune function. The weakened immune system in older adult patients increases their susceptibility to postoperative complications as compared to in younger patients.
