Difpad-Onco (nursing screening of the frailty of elderly people, at home, with oncological disease) aims to facilitate and complement the identification of frailties in elderly cancer patients by private practice nurses in the patient's home. It consists of the G8 Oncodage, a Mini-Cog screening for cognitive impairment, a history of falls, and social frailty. It is aimed at all cancer patients aged 70 and over. Around 80% of patients assessed have a G8 score ≤ 14/17, indicating geriatric frailty, and over 60% have more than one frailty (social, dietary, cognitive, falls). The DIFPAD-Onco project represents an innovative experiment in care pathways for elderly cancer patients.
