Response

Based on the description, the situation may not be optimistic, and it is advised to prepare for different outcomes. Whether the tumor is benign or malignant, due to the age factor, surgical indications are low, and the postoperative survival period is difficult to estimate. Currently, nutritional support should be provided while waiting for the results. If the tumor is benign and the elderly individual has no underlying diseases and is in good physical condition, early surgical treatment can be considered.
