Development of an oncological-multidimensional prognostic index (Onco-MPI) for mortality prediction in older cancer patients

摘要

PurposeA multidimensional prognostic index (MPI) based on a comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) has been developed and validated in independent cohorts of older patients demonstrating good accuracy in predicting one-year mortality. The aim of this study was to develop a cancer-specific modified MPI (Onco-MPI) for mortality prediction in older cancer patients.
