Geriatrische Assessments und Diagnostik beim älteren Patienten

As is the case with younger patients, the treatment decisions for
elderly patients with thoracic tumours are primarily based on the
results of the usual routine diagnostics. Standardised assessments
of existing comorbidities and geriatric assessments may provide
information which are of particular relevance for intensive and/or
complex therapy modalities and which may require early
corresponding intervention or measures for support.
