Abstract
The proposed ONCOGER CGA model aims to standardize comprehensive geriatric assessments for older cancer patients.
- A standardized CGA could enhance the ability to define prognosis and treatment tolerance in older adults with cancer.
- Implementing this model is associated with better understanding of the complexities faced by frail older patients.
- Widespread use of the ONCOGER CGA may facilitate comparisons across oncology institutions.
- This approach could promote studies that assess multiple dimensions of patient health and well-being.
- Integration of geriatricians into oncology teams may improve therapeutic choices and clinical outcomes.
