| Concept | G-8 screening tool |
| Description | An assessment tool designed to identify elderly cancer patients who would benefit from comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA). |
| Use | Use to record frailty criteria in older cancer patients to be able to identify who would benefit from comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA). |
| Misuse | Not to be used to record statements of, or findings on the individual's health status outside of the G-8 screening tool. Use other appropriate archetypes for this purpose. |
| Purpose | To record frailty criteria in older cancer patients to be able to identify who would benefit from comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA). |
