Overview

Retrospective study reveals low BMI and poor performance worsen tolerability to treatment in elderly, indicating need for better assessments.

Key Points

  • Decreased tolerability to anti-PD-L1 therapy correlates with low BMI in elderly patients.
  • The study found that poor performance status independently affects tolerability outcomes.
  • Analysis explored treatment responses and tolerability in elderly patients with extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer.
  • Incorporating geriatric assessments may enhance treatment decisions and patient outcomes.
