A systematic review on the association of the G8 with geriatric assessment, prognosis and course of treatment in older patients with cancer

摘要

Aim: The aim of this systematic review is to summarise all available data on the use of the G8 screening tool in geriatric oncology, focusing on the diagnostic accuracy of the G8 to predict the presence of impairments on geriatric assessment (GA) and on its association with different clinical outcomes (survival, course of treatment and patient-centred outcomes).
