In this ESMO-SIOG video, Nicolò Battisti underlines the importance of performing Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA), as patients over 65 years old represent half of the cancer patients population. He explains why a personalised and multidisciplinary approach is necessary in the management of this very heterogeneous population and details CGA tools. He discusses results from 4 geriatric oncology landmark studies presented at ASCO 2020 Annual Meeting in terms of positive impact of CGA intervention on study endpoints.
