ABSTRACT
Prostate cancer is a common malignancy in elderly men. Assessment of life expectancy is crucial for the treatment decision. However, accurate evaluation of individual life expectancy is still a challenge for us. By now, the life expectancy assessment methods mainly include query life table, online prediction questionnaire, gait speed monitoring, considering complications, and comprehensive prediction model. The first three evaluation methods are more convenient and have strong clinical feasibility. Complication calculation and comprehensive model are less convenient but may improve the accuracy of life expectancy prediction. The application of comprehensive prediction model is recommended at present. The prediction methods need further optimization and verification.
