Article Synopsis
- Older patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer may face higher toxicity from aggressive chemotherapy, and using geriatric assessments (GA) can help tailor their treatment plans.
- A multicenter trial categorized patients into three groups (Go-Go, Slow-Go, Frail) based on GA scores to guide therapy decisions; however, recruitment issues led to early trial termination with only 32 participants.
- The findings showed a significant mismatch between treatment assigned and patients' GA categories, which may indicate overtreatment, highlighting the need for better alignment between clinical evaluations and geriatric assessments in managing this patient population.
