Abstract:
With the accelerating aging process,the number of elderly cancer patients is been increasing annually,accompanied by various age-related health issues.Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment(CGA),as a multidimen-sional evaluation tool,has been widely recognized as an important means to optimize the management of elderly cancer patients.Although numerous studies have demonstrated the significant value of CGA in improving clinical outcomes,its practical application still faces various challenges.This review summarizes the status of CGA applica-tion in elderly cancer patients,the main implementation barriers,and corresponding facilitating strategies.Addi-tionally,recommendations for promoting the implementation of CGA are provided,aiming to offer insights for future clinical research and practice on CGA for elderly cancer patients in China.
