This study contributes to measuring cancer burden in the oldest old population. In certain cancers, including meningiomas, the IR continues to rise with advancing age. Management of cancer in elderly is challenging and screening persons in the 85Â + age group for frailty very thoroughly may help guide decisions of palliative versus aggressive therapies.
