Evaluating the Impact of Age and G8 Assessment on Definitive Treatment Strategies in Elderly Patients with Local Advanced Esophageal Carcinoma

Moreover, CRT could be safely performed even in patients with low G8 scores, and although the G8 score may not directly influence treatment decision, its enhancement during the treatment process holds significant prognostic value.
