Brief Summary
This study aims to evaluate the ability of G8, CARG, and Frailty scales to predict chemotherapy-related toxicity and the need for G-CSF in elderly cancer patients. It also investigates their correlation with nutritional biomarkers (albumin, prealbumin, hemoglobin, CRP) and the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) test.
