Abstract:
China has a large population with accelerating process of population aging.Elderly patients have universal medical needs such as physical function,psychological needs and social needs.Therefore,it is urgent to have a comprehensive understanding of the health status of the elderly population,in order to develop individualized treatment plans for this special group of patients.Comprehensive geriatric assessment(CGA)as the core skill of geriatric medicine is based on four major aspects,including comprehensive medical assessment,physical function assessment,cognitive and emotional assessment,and social and environmental factors assessment.Several domestic and foreign studies have confirmed that CGA score can be used as an independent prognostic factor in elderly B-cell lymphoma patients receiving immunochemotherapy,and can be used to predict the survival outcome of elderly B-cell lymphoma patients.CGA should be promoted and implemented before immunochemotherapy among elderly patients with B-cell lymphoma in China,in the hope to help with the development of accurate treatment strategies and individualized intervention methods for B-cell lymphoma patients over 60 years old in China.
