Many questions of treatment tactics in senile patients remain not quite clear. It is necessary to work out an algorithm of surgical treatment depending on severity of somatic status of the patient and life prognosis. It is difficult to make a decision concerning the necessity and perspectivity of palliative surgical treatment of oncological patients at late stages. Taking into account the complicacy in prediction of dynamics of malignant growth, active surgical tactics with thorough supervision of senile patients with grave somatic status is preferable.
