Abstract:
The disease treatment of patients with gastrointestinal cancer is accompanied by impaired bodily functions. Frailty is very common in patients with gastrointestinal cancer, and is closely related to its various adverse health outcomes, which seriously affects their prognosis. This article reviews the risk factors, correlation with adverse health outcomes and intervention methods of frailty in gastrointestinal cancer patients. It is pointed out that medical and nursing staff should identify the frailty state of patients with gastrointestinal cancer as soon as possible and make early interventions to improve the prognosis of patients.
