Performance of Two Geriatric Screening Tools in Older Patients With Cancer
Cindy Kenis,L. Decoster,Katrien Van Puyvelde,Jacques De Greve,Godelieve Conings,Koen Milisen,Johan Flamaing,Jean-Pierre Lobelle,Hans Wildiers +8 more
TL;DR: Both geriatric screening tools, G8 and fTRST, are simple and useful instruments in older patients with cancer for identifying patients with a geriatric risk profile and have a strong prognostic value for functional decline and overall survival.

Relevance of a systematic geriatric screening and assessment in older patients with cancer: results of a prospective multicentric study
Cindy Kenis,Dominique Bron,Yves Libert,L. Decoster,K. Van Puyvelde,Pierre Scalliet,P Cornette,Thierry Pepersack,Sylvie Luce,Christine Langenaeken,Marika Rasschaert,Sophie Allepaerts,R.E.N. van Rijswijk,Koen Milisen,Johan Flamaing,Jean-Pierre Lobelle,Hans Wildiers +16 more
TL;DR: Geriatric screening and assessment in older patients with cancer is feasible at large scale and has a significant impact on the detection of unknown geriatric problems, leading to geriatric interventions and adapted treatment.

Tyrosine kinase inhibitor-induced macrocytosis.
TL;DR: The data suggest pathways in addition to c-KIT and not common to both agents are involved in the TKI-induced macrocytosis, which was not confined to patients with RCC alone but also occurred in patients with BC.

The prognostic value of 3 commonly measured blood parameters and geriatric assessment to predict overall survival in addition to clinical information in older patients with cancer
Abdelbari Baitar,Cindy Kenis,L. Decoster,Jacques De Greve,Jean-Pierre Lobelle,Johan Flamaing,Koen Milisen,Hans Wildiers +7 more
TL;DR: The current study was performed to evaluate the prognostic value of laboratory parameters and geriatric assessment (GA) in addition to a baseline model with clinical information regarding overall survival (OS) in patients with cancer.
