Abstract

Frailty is prevalent in older adults with lung cancer, and it has been associated with adverse treatment-related outcomes. Measurement of baseline frailty using a multi-domain frailty index (FI) has been incorporated into routine practice for older adults with lung cancer at our institution. The FI is advantageous as it provides a granular measure of frailty, and the multi-domain assessment may identify specific vulnerabilities or areas for therapeutic intervention. The aims of this study were to determine whether baseline FI was associated with treatment completion and adverse outcomes.
