Analysis of frailty syndrome in oncology: A review and selection of geriatric assessment tools for oncology inpatient care
More than 60% of patients diagnosed with cancer for the first time are aged 65 and older. This article presents an analysis of the impact of comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) on treatment outcomes for elderly cancer patients. The aim of this article was to analyze the relationship between CGA, the frailty, and treatment outcomes in older adults with cancer. A literature analysis was conducted without date or language filters. A correlation was identified between frailty indicators and survival, mortality, and other outcomes in oncogeriatric patients. An analysis of outcome assessment measures in patients with frailty was performed. Combinations of CGA elements applicable to oncogeriatric patients were identified. The utility of CGA in oncogeriatric practice was evaluated. Further research in this area represents a significant contribution to the development of oncogeriatric medicine and the enhancement of treatment effectiveness for older adults with cancer.
