abstract = {Frailty is defined as the reduction in physiological reserve across multiple systems. The phenomenon of cancer frailty is described when cancer and frailty coexist in a patient. The cancer and its related symptoms accelerate the progression of baseline frailty. According to the European Cancer Information System, there is an increasing burden of cancer within the European Union. This can be attributed to the ageing population. The increase in the onco-geriatric surgical population represents a challenge to surgical services. Current Literature suggest that that routine geriatric involvement improves outcomes in high-risk older surgical patients. This study aimed to determine the utility of frailty as a predictor of postoperative outcomes.},
