Description

Introduction

  • Nearly half of the patients diagnosed with breast cancer are ≥ 65 years.
  • Older patients with breast cancer are at higher risk for experiencing treatment side effects and unplanned health care.
  • This can compromise treatment outcomes and increase the cost of care.
  • The G8 is among the most sensitive screening tools for frailty and mortality.
  • The aim of this study is to evaluate the association of the G8 questionnaire with treatment side effects and unscheduled care in older breast cancer women.
