Abstract
It is recommended that elderly cancer patients should be evaluated for geriatric assessment. This study in-vestigated the diagnostic characteristics of two geriatric screening tools, G8 （Geriatric 8） and fTRST （Flemish version of Triage Risk Screening Tool）, in older patients with head and neck cancer and the prognostic value of these screening tools for overall survival, treatment completion and complications. The subjects were 30 patients over 70 years old who were evaluated by G8 and fTRST between March 2017 and October 2019. A Cox regression analysis with G8 and fTRST as the independent variables was conducted for the OS analysis. Univariate analysis showed that only G8, in which we set the cut-off value to 14, was a statistically significant prognostic predictor （hazard ratio 9.64, p ＝ 0.036）. G8 was considered to be a more useful screening tool in predicting the prognosis of elderly patients with head and neck cancer.
