Vulnerability increases with

telomere shortening

• No significant correlation with any of the GVS components

• BUT a correlation between patient telomere length (Short

vs Long) and vulnerability (GVS 3; 2 major criteria)

GVS = vulnerability factors :

Major : - score ADL < 6

- score IADL < 25

- albuminemia < 35g/L

Minor : - Lymphopenia < 1G/L

- score HADS > 14

Telomere length estimation

is feasible using standard procedure

Identifies a group of elderly patients with Short Telomeres who:

• Have a lower chance to complete their planned 6 chemotherapy

courses

• Have a higher risk of chemotherapy toxicity (number of serious

adverse events, unplanned hospital admissions and severe non-

haematological grade 3-4 toxicity)

• Partially overlaps with patient subsets according to the vulnerability

score GVS

• Might be a risk factor for premature death independent from FIGO

stage
