      abstract = {This book summarizes evidence on frailty and ageing, how  this may impact outcomes and how this can be incorporated  in the decision-making process for cancer treatment. It  discusses quality of life on frail senior adults and  patient goals of care. The book aims to improve  patient-treatment selection and the outcomes of patients by  empowering clinicians to properly assess patients for  frailty, either on their own or within a multidisciplinary  setting. The reader will learn the methods available for  assessing for frailty, such as screening tools, but also  how to perform geriatric assessments by providing details  on each component (functional, nutritional, social,  psychological, etc.). The book also provides information on  how to manage and intervene on frailty with the role of  pre-habilitation and re-habilitation, how to set-up frailty  teams and pathways within ones hospital and community.  Finally, frailty and associated research per cancer type  are discussed in detail along with biomarkers of frailty  and future directions.},
