Frailty in older patients with cancer increases the risk of treatment related toxicity, mortality, physical decline, and quality life. This review summarises various screening tools. Screening tools identifying frailty serve multiple purposes, providing awareness health issues impacting oncologic prognosis facilitating delivery a Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA). CGA is an overall assessment targeting frailty. Providing to reduces toxicity functional completion, prevents loss
Cancer management in older frail patients can be complex, given the high decline functional status, comorbidity, and limited life expectancy affecting this group of patients. Therefore, study aimed to investigate whether oncological treatment combined with comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) tailored follow-up interventions improved or maintained quality (QoL) prefrail cancer.
