First seen Apr 15, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 5 times
Summary
This study looked at how common frailty is among people aged 70 and older with solid tumors who visited a cancer center. Researchers used a short questionnaire called VES-13 to screen patients before their doctor visit. They also checked whether the test results matched the doctor's own judgment of frailty. The goal was to see if routine screening could help identify vulnerable patients more consistently.
