Overall, we recommend that all older persons shall routinely be screened for malnutrition in order to identify an existing risk early. Oral nutrition can be supported by nursing interventions, education, nutritional counselling, food modification and oral nutritional supplements. Enteral nutrition should be initiated if oral, and parenteral if enteral nutrition is insufficient or impossible and the general prognosis is altogether favorable. Dietary restrictions should generally be avoided, and weight-reducing diets shall only be considered in obese older persons with weight-related health problems and combined with physical exercise. All older persons should be considered to be at risk of low-intake dehydration and encouraged to consume adequate amounts of drinks. Generally, interventions shall be individualized, comprehensive and part of a multimodal and multidisciplinary team approach.</div><div>As a conclusion a range of effective interventions is available to support adequate nutrition and hydration in older persons in order to maintain or improve nutritional status and improve clinical course and quality of life. These interventions should be implemented in clinical practice and routinely used.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":39958,"journal":{"name":"Revista Espanola de Geriatria y Gerontologia","volume":"61 2","pages":"Article 101762"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147445547","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, in oncologic research, the term “frailty” is inconsistently used, often encompassing multidimensional screening tools, prognostic indices, or even abbreviated substitutes for comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA). This heterogeneity hampers clinical applicability and comparisons across studies. The aim was to systematically review the prevalence, tools used, and clinical impact of frailty in older adults with cancer across four tumor types: lung, colorectal, prostate, and hematologic malignancies. We conducted a systematic review following the PRISMA guidelines. Search strategies were adapted for each cancer type and included studies published in the last 10 years with patients aged<!--> <!-->≥<!--> <!-->65 years. Eligible studies assessed frailty using any defined method and reported outcomes, such as treatment tolerance, survival, functional decline, or complications. A total of 48 studies were included (eight lung, 17 colorectal, seven prostate, and 16 hematological). The prevalence of frailty ranged widely from 4% to 81%, depending on the tools used. The most common instruments were the G8 (a screening tool), mFI, Fried phenotype, and Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS). Several studies misclassified screening instruments or prognostic scores as frailty measures. Frailty was consistently associated with poorer survival, increased postoperative complications, greater toxicity, and higher healthcare utilization across tumor types. However, the variability in frailty definitions and assessment tools limits direct comparisons and clinical implementation. Harmonization of definitions and routine integration of standardized geriatric tools are needed to strengthen the role of frailty in oncological decision-making.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":39958,"journal":{"name":"Revista Espanola de Geriatria y Gerontologia","volume":"61 2","pages":"Article 101766"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147487767","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
