What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Prostate cancer is the most common solid tumour cancer amongst men in Ireland, with almost 4,000 new cases diagnosed annually and a median age at diagnosis of 67 years. The incidence of frailty amongst cancer patients is high. Among patients undergoing systemic anti-cancer therapy, frailty increases the risk of treatment related toxicity, hospitalisation, and death and is associated with a poorer quality of life. This study aims to describe the demographic, clinical and frailty characteristics of men living with prostate cancer in the Mid-West of Ireland. In addition, we will assess the predictive accuracy of three frailty screening tools currently used in Irish clinical practice,G8, CFS and PRISMA 7, for predicting poorer outcomes at baseline, 6 and 12 months.
