Detailed description
All participants' medical information will be collected for use as a baseline, including tumor-specific variables, nutritional status, functional status, psychological status, cognitive function, social support, and comorbidities. G8, VES-13 and CARG toxicity scores of all participating patients will be determined by two independent investigators before starting chemotherapy. The suitability of these practical chemotherapy risk assessment tools for cancer patients for elderly cancer patients was investigated.
