Prevalence of functional limitations and their associations with systemic cancer therapy among older adults in nursing homes with advanced non-small cell lung cancer.
The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship of self-care task disabilities with the use of systemic cancer therapies for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in nursing home patients. The investigators concluded that systemic cancer therapy was not commonly used in this population and was strongly predicted by disability in self-care tasks.
