Background: In this study, the impact of comprehensive geriatric
assessments on the quality and the length of life in disabled elderly cancer

randomly divided into two treatment and control groups. Patients were evaluated
during a six-month study using comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) test.
Results: The patient’s mean age was 4.2 ± 67.1 years. It was shown

instrumental activities of daily living and activities of daily living, but a
significant improvement was shown in patient’s psychological status using
