Preoperative Oncogeriatric Assessment in Patients Undergoing Hepatectomy
Sponsor: Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS
Summary
This study aims to bridge the gap between geriatric medicine and surgical oncology. The findings will provide valuable insights into optimizing perioperative care for older adults, enhancing surgical safety, and improving long-term recovery trajectories, thereby supporting a more patient-centered, multidisciplinary approach in the management of elderly patients undergoing hepatectomy

Interventions
Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA)
The Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) is conducted using a structured approach integrating validated tools into routine preoperative evaluation: frailty assessed by Fried Frailty Criteria; functional status by Activities of Daily Living (ADL) and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL); cognitive function by Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) or Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA); comorbidity burden by Charlson Comorbidity Index; nutritional status by Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA); psychological status by Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS). Based on CGA findings, participants may receive individualized preoperative interventions including nutritional optimization, physical prehabilitation, medical optimization, and psychosocial or educational support.
