Abstract
- Prostate cancer is the most common disease in elderly Japanese men.1,2 A geriatric assessment is therefore required for prostate cancer patients. At our institution, we assessed the G8 score for 76 localized prostate cancer patients, and the mean score was 15.2 for patients who underwent radical prostatectomy, 14.1 for those who underwent radiotherapy and 13.6 for those who underwent androgen deprivation therapy. In that study, the mean G8 score for localized prostate cancer was 14.5, the G8 score for those who underwent robot-assisted radical prostatectomy was 15.0, radiotherapy was 14.0 and androgen deprivation therapy was 12.0.
