Sequential geriatric assessment in older patients with colorectal cancer during chemotherapy: subgroup analysis of a prospective, multicenter study EpiReal 75
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a disease of older patients, but evidence-based guidelines for chemotherapy in older patients are scarce. Geriatric assessment (GA) evaluates a patient’s functional status (FS) and helps in decision-making when choosing chemotherapy for older patients. However, the change...

| Summary: | Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a disease of older patients, but evidence-based guidelines for chemotherapy in older patients are scarce. Geriatric assessment (GA) evaluates a patient’s functional status (FS) and helps in decision-making when choosing chemotherapy for older patients. However, the change of FS during chemotherapy is rarely studied as GA is mostly performed once instead of sequentially. |
