A pilot study of the vulnerable elders survey‐13 compared with the comprehensive geriatric assessment for identifying disability in older patients with prostate cancer who receive androgen ablation

Abstract

Functional and cognitive impairments are highly prevalent among older patients with PCa who receive androgen ablation in oncology clinics. The current results indicated that the brief VES-13 performed nearly as well as a conventional CGA in detecting geriatric impairment in this population.
