Differences in Pretreatment Frailty Across Gastrointestinal Cancers in Older Adults: Results From the Cancer and Aging Resilience Evaluation Registry

Differences in Pretreatment Frailty Across Gastrointestinal Cancers in Older Adults: Results From the Cancer and Aging Resilience Evaluation Registry

Source : https://ascopubs.org/doi/abs/10.1200/OP.22.00270

PURPOSE: Frailty predicts poor outcomes in older adults with cancer, but how it differs between different cancer types is unknown. We examined differences in pretreatment frailty between colorectal (CRC), pancreatic, and hepatobiliary cancers. METHODS: We included older adults age 60 years or older with the above cancer types enrolled in the Cancer and Aging Resilience Evaluation registry.


Conclusion: Screening and intervention on FT for patients with hematologic malignancies is associated with increased quality of life and survival.
