TL;DR: A geriatric evaluation affects oncologic and non-oncologic treatment and appears to improve treatment tolerance and completion for older cancer patients.

The relevance of a geriatric assessment for elderly patients with a haematological malignancy – A systematic review
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a geriatric assessment can detect multiple health issues, even in patients with good performance status, and should thus be integrated in individualised treatment algorithms.

The impact of frailty on postoperative outcomes in individuals aged 65 and over undergoing elective surgery for colorectal cancer: A systematic review
Katleen Fagard,Silke Leonard,Mieke Deschodt,Els Devriendt,Albert Wolthuis,Hans Prenen,Johan Flamaing,Koen Milisen,Hans Wildiers,Cindy Kenis +9 more
TL;DR: Assessment of frailty in colorectal oncology seems important to determine operative risks and benefits and to guide perioperative management because frailty is associated with a greater risk of postoperative adverse outcomes.

TL;DR: A geriatric evaluation has significant impact on oncologic and non-oncologic treatment decisions in older cancer patients and deserves consideration in the oncological work-up for these patients.

TL;DR: A CGA, with or without screening, and with follow-up, should be used in older cancer patients, in order to detect unaddressed problems, improve their functional status, and possibly their survival.

TL;DR: A simple method for identifying community‐dwelling vulnerable older people, defined as persons age 65 and older at increased risk of death or functional decline, is developed to assess whether self‐reported diagnoses and conditions add predictive ability to a function‐based survey.

Screening older cancer patients: first evaluation of the G-8 geriatric screening tool
Carine Bellera,Muriel Rainfray,Simone Mathoulin-Pélissier,C. Mertens,Fleur Delva,Marianne Fonck,P. Soubeyran +6 more
TL;DR: The G-8 shows good screening properties for identifying elderly cancer patients who could benefit from comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) and has a cut-off value of 14 for the primary reference test, without deteriorating the specificity excessively.

TL;DR: A brief, but comprehensive, primarily self‐administered cancer‐specific geriatric assessment measure is developed and its feasibility is determined as measured by the percentage of patients able to complete the measure on their own, the length of time to complete, and patient satisfaction with the measure.

Undertreatment Strongly Decreases Prognosis of Breast Cancer in Elderly Women

TL;DR: Half of elderly patients with breast cancer are undertreated, with strongly decreased specific survival as a consequence, and treatments need to be adapted to the patient's health status, but also should offer the best chance of cure.
