Summary

This study looks at whether a quick, 8-item screening tool called G8 can help predict survival and severe side effects from treatment in elderly patients (70 years and older) with metastatic colorectal cancer.

The study will follow 109 patients in Italy and also test a physical performance measure called Timed Up and Go.
