AnnotationThe number of nonagenarians living an independent lifestyle is increasing and, with baby boomers growing older in a more healthy manner, is set to rise proportionally. Neoplastic change increases with age, but many cancers in the older population group are unknown until a clinically important event causes rapid decline. The authors illustrate events with a likely case scenario. (KJ/RH).
