Abstract

Older adults with all stages of prostate cancer are prone to developing frailty. These patients should have a frailty assessment and be managed by a multidisciplinary team. Lifestyle measures and tailoring of cancer-related treatment to the patient's fitness level can help in mitigating the adverse effects of frailty.
