Intrinsic capacity and survival among older adults with gastrointestinal malignancies: The Cancer and Aging Resilience Evaluation registry

Intrinsic capacity (IC) was introduced by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a marker of healthy aging, and is defined as the combination of an individual's physical, mental, and psychological capacities. This study aimed to assess IC via a patient-reported geriatric assessment (GA) and evaluate its association with survival among older adults with gastrointestinal (GI) malignancies.
