Evidence suggests that appropriately selected older adults can tolerate standard-dose chemotherapy and achieve survival outcomes comparable to younger patients. However, older adults are usually under-represented in clinical trials and often receive reduced doses of chemotherapy due to concerns regarding age-related frailty, polypharmacy, and toxicity. This study seeks to evaluate chemotherapy …
