Abstract
The incidence of lung cancer increases with age. The comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) identifies patients at high risk of adverse outcomes and has shown to improve health-related outcomes, quality of life and reduction in health service use. However, the uptake is hampered by limitations in both time and resources. We evaluated the implementation of a nurse-led model of geriatric oncology assessment for elderly patients (≥ 65 years) with newly diagnosed lung cancer.
