Résumé

La prévalence de l’altération du statut fonctionnel appréciée par plusieurs échelles chez le sujet agé atteint de cancer est fréquente et fonction du type de cancer et du moment de l’évaluation de l’autonomie. Avant traitement, l’autonomie du malade âgé cancéreux mesurée au cours de l’évaluation gériatrique approfondie (EGA) influence souvent la décision thérapeutique. Au cours du traitement anticancéreux, les études divergent quant aux effets du traitement sur le statut fonctionnel du patient âgé. Une perte d’autonomie est associée à une moins bonne tolérance au traitement anticancéreux avec davantage de complications mais les études ne permettent pas d’établir précisément le lien qui semble exister entre statut fonctionnel altéré et diminution de la survie. La dégradation de l’autonomie peut résulter à la fois de l’effet du vieillissement et de l’histoire carcinologique. Le lien fort entre autonomie et cancer rend nécessaire une évaluation fonctionnelle chez tout sujet âgé atteint d’un cancer.
