Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Elderly patients \* with multiple comorbidities are underrepresented in most radio-oncology studies. In times of individualized therapy and when weighing up oncological over- or under-therapy, this observational study is a step towards the implementation of established geriatric instruments and concepts in radiation oncology. As part of the initial outpatient consultation on radiotherapy, the quality of life of patients older than 70 years before the start of therapy is assessed using the EORTC QLQ-C30 and ELD14 questionnaires. Furthermore, a geriatric screening is carried out using the G8 questionnaire. The geriatric screening carried out in routine clinical practice with little effort is used to filter out patients with no risk of increased vulnerability - these participants do not require any further examinations.
