Surgeons have always dealt with elderly cancer patients, but understanding frailty and tailoring treatment is a new achievement endeavour. Mounting evidence is resulting in the introduction of geriatric assessment into clinical practice. Particularly, undernourishment should be assessed and corrected in order to avoid emergency situations whenever possible.
