Application of comprehensive geriatric assessment in oncology nursing: A literature review on optimizing treatment decisions and patient outcomes

Figure 2 Application flow chart of comprehensive geriatric assessment in tumor nursing. This flowchart illustrates the step-by-step application of comprehensive geriatric assessment in oncology nursing. It begins with a multidimensional evaluation of the patient, covering physical, mental, social, and functional domains. The results are integrated for risk stratification, categorizing patients as high-risk or low-risk. Based on this, personalized treatment plans are formulated, including adjustments to surgery, chemotherapy, or radiotherapy. Continuous health monitoring ensures dynamic treatment modifications, and the process concludes with an evaluation of therapeutic outcomes and long-term prognosis, optimizing care for elderly cancer patients.
