Abstract
About 50% of colorectal cancers occur in elderly patients (pts). The oncological societies suggest using geriatric tools to customize treatment. Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) is a multidimensional assessment, classifying pts as fit, vulnerable or frail. Oncological multidimensional prognostic index (oncoMPI) is a CGA-based score which includes also tumour characteristics, classifying pts in high-, intermediate- and low-risk group. We investigated the role of CGA and oncoMPI in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) elderly pts in a real-world setting.
