Timed Get Up and Go Test and Geriatric 8 Scores and the Association With (Chemo-)Radiation Therapy Noncompliance and Acute Toxicity in Elderly Cancer Patients

The usefulness of the TGUGT and G8 score in daily practice seems to be limited. Type of primary tumor, chemoradiotherapy, age, and World Health Organization performance status were more strongly associated with acute toxicity. Only chemoradiotherapy and age were associated with noncompliance. Overall the compliance was very high. To allow better-informed treatment decisions, a more accurate prediction of toxicity is desirable.
