Core Tip Comprehensive geriatric assessment plays a pivotal role in the clinical management of elderly patients with digestive system tumors. By systematically evaluating their physical function, cognitive status, nutritional condition and social support, comprehensive geriatric assessment precisely guides the formulation of personalized treatment regimens. Notably, this evidence-based approach effectively mitigates treatment-related toxicities, enhances patients’ treatment tolerance, and extends their progression-free survival, thus exerting remarkable clinical benefits and practical value in geriatric oncology practice.
