Linking clinical and population-based data in older patients with cancer in Belgium: Feasibility and clinical outcomes.
Geriatric screening and geriatric assessment (GS/GA) have proven their benefits in the care for older patients with cancer. However, less is known about the predictive value of GS/GA for outcomes.
