Abstract
A geriatric evaluation affects oncologic and non-oncologic treatment and appears to improve treatment tolerance and completion for older cancer patients. Fine-tuning the decision-making process for this growing patient population will require more specific and robust data on the effect of a geriatric evaluation on relevant oncologic and non-oncologic outcomes such as survival and quality of life.
