A comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) is recommended by the Société Internationale d'Onco Gériatrie (SIOG) in order to assess all geriatric facets (comorbidity, functional impairment, nutritional status, mental and psychological status, environment,…) on which treatment may impact.

Activities of daily living (ADL) comprise the basic actions that involve caring for one's self and body, including personal care, mobility, and eating. The Index ranks adequacy of performance in the six functions of bathing, dressing, toileting, transferring, continence, and feeding. Clients are scored yes/no for independence in each of the six functions. A score of 6 indicates full function, 4 indicates moderate impairment, and 2 or less indicates severe functional impairment.
