Impact of Age and Comorbidities On Therapeutic Decision-making Among Older Patients With Gastrointestinal Cancer
Geriatric variables, despite being often neglected at the time of defining treatment for the older adult with cancer, can have an effect on oncologic decision-making. Our findings underscore the need for integrating assessment of geriatric variables into oncologic care to support individualized, guideline-concordant treatment planning that reflects the complexity and needs of this population.
