摘要

Purpose The prevalence of elderly and comorbid patients (pts) with malignant lymphoma (ML) will steadily increase in future. Elderly patients comprise a heterogeneous population. Comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) is an established diagnostic tool in geriatric medicine. However, the prognostic value in patients with ML is unclear. We sought to establish a relationship between results of CGA and survival time in patients with ML.
