Popis:	cancer seems to be better able to predict mortality both at 6-months (AUC=0.94, pb0.0001) and 12-months (AUC=0.87, pb0.0001) of follow-up. Conclusions: The present study confirms the prognostic value of the MPI in elderly patients with advanced cancer. This index may consequently be used in the daily practice for the proper risk assessment of ECP. Further studies are nonetheless needed to confirm these findings in larger populations and assess the potential for integrating the MPI with the CIRS severity index and the GDS.
