A comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) is a multidisciplinary evaluation to assess life expectancy and risk of morbidity and mortality in the older patient. This assessment tool would evaluate and include the following areas: functional status, socioeconomic issues, psychosocial Neoadjuvant therapy does not increase survival when compared to adjuvant therapy. It only changes the timing of treatment and can change surgical options if the tumor is shrunk enough. If this occurs, the patient may...
