Official Title: Effectiveness of G8 and VES-13 Frailty Scales in Predicting Chemotherapy Toxicity in Older Patients With Gastrointestinal Cancers: A Prospective Observational Study
Brief Summary:
This study evaluates the effectiveness of the G8 and VES-13 frailty scales in predicting chemotherapy-related toxicity in older patients with gastrointestinal cancers receiving adjuvant chemotherapy.Older adults are more vulnerable to treatment-related side effects due to age-related declines in physiological reserve.Early identification of frailty may help individualize treatment decisions and optimize supportive care.This is a prospective, single-center, observational study conducted at Ankara Etlik City…
