Evidence has demonstrated that undertreatment of fit elderly multiple myeloma (MM) patients occurs more frequently than overtreatment. While overtreatment of frail MM patients can induce unnecessary morbidity and mortality, an appropriate assessment for frailty is key to determine whether the patient is actually frail or in fact fit. This step ensures optimal outcomes and improved health-related quality of life.
This activity will focus on proper assessment of older patients, different scoring systems, the role of real-world evidence (RWE), and trials that support the use of RWE. A link to a simplified, downloadable frailty scoring tool will also be provided.
