The evolution of cooperation in social dilemmas has been of considerable concern in various fields such as sociobiology, economics and sociology. It might be that, in the real world, reputation plays an important role in the evolution of cooperation. Recently, studies that have addressed indirect reciprocity have revealed that cooperation can evolve through reputation, even though pairs of individuals interact only a few times. To our knowledge, most indirect reciprocity models have presumed dyadic interaction; no studies have attempted analysis of the evolution of cooperation in large communities where the effect of reputation is included. We investigate the evolution of cooperation in sizable groups in which the reputation of individuals affects the decision-making process. This paper presents the following: (i) cooperation can evolve in a four-person case, (ii) the evolution of cooperation becomes difficult as group size increases, even if the effect of reputation is included, and (iii) three kinds of final social states exist. In medium-sized communities, cooperative species can coexist in a stable manner with betrayal species.

<p align="justify"><em>Elderly cancer patients represent a steadily rising population constituting a daily problem for any physician, who is confronted not only with medical questions but also with ethical and social dilemmas. In addition oncogeriatric patients are underrepresented or excluded from trials especially in surgery which results in a gap in practical and evidence based knowledge regarding their preoperative evaluation and treatment. Therefore the authors outline the framework a decision making process for a meaning – and success- full treatment plan has to rely on.</em><em></em></p>
