title: Caring for the Older Cancer Patient: Comprehensive Geriatric Evaluation.
abstract: Elderly patients comprise almost half of daily adult oncology practice, but management guidelines based on data from clinical trials performed in the elderly are lacking. Comprehensive geriatric evaluation and the use of different outcome measures for trials of interventions in the elderly are needed to provide clinicians and patients the information required to make the best management decisions.
