AB  - As  the  population  ages,  an  increasing  number  of  elderly  patients  become  candidates  for  major  surgery.  According  to  the  National  Center  for  Health  Statistics,  the  rate  of  hospital  discharges  for  hip  replacement  in  elderly  people  rose  from  2.5  per  10  000  in  1970  to  72.5  per  10  000  in  2004  (http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/agingact.htm).  Based  on  current  rates  of  surgery  and  census  projections,  the  number  of  elderly  patients  undergoing  oncologic  procedures  is  expected  to  increase  by  up  to  51%  by  the  year  2020.
