75 yr old No major comorbidities Exercising No geriatric syndromes Toxicity risk < 50% Life expectancy > 15 years Compensated comorbidity Independent + falls Toxicity risk 50-70% Life expectancy 10 years Dementia Dependent + falls Toxicity risk 90% Life expectancy <10 years
Clinical Question 1 Should geriatric assessment (GA) be used in older adults with cancer to predict adverse outcomes from chemotherapy? Recommendation 1. In patients age 65 and older receiving chemotherapy, geriatric assessment (GA) the evaluation of functional status, physical performance and falls, comorbid medical conditions, depression, social activity/support, nutritional status, and cognition should be used to identify vulnerabilities Evidence quality: high; Strength of recommendation: strong Clinical Question 2 For older patients who are considering undergoing chemotherapy, which GA tools should clinicians use to predict adverse outcomes (including chemotherapy toxicity and mortality)? Recommendation 2. The evidence supports, at a minimum, assessment of function, comorbidity, falls, depression, cognition, and nutrition. Evidence quality: high; Evidence quality: moderate to recommend specific tools. Strength of recommendations: moderate
Institutional database between January 1, 2002, and January 1, 2014 on 2237 eligible patients with NSCLC and tumor genotyping results 712 patients (32%) possessed a targetable genomic alteration (ie, EGFR kinase mutation, ALK or ROS1 rearrangement, ERBB2 kinase mutation, or BRAFV600E)
Those younger than 54 years (the 25th percentile) had a 46% higher frequency of targetable genotypes compared with those in the upper quartiles 59% increased chance of detecting a targetable alteration in a patient younger than 50 compared with an older patient
Trials based on composite end points will be declared successful if the new treatment is an adequate trade-off between efficacy, QoL and toxicity Adaptive (Bayesian) trial design is also a useful design in frail populations.

KEY POINTS IN ADVANCED DISEASE A better prediction of noncancer-related mortality and a better prediction of treatment-related toxicity would greatly facilitate therapeutic selection for elderly patients (es CRASH, CARG).
