Anne-Laure Couderc MD, PhD As a geriatrician in Assistance Publique des Hôpitaux de Marseille (AP-HM) University Hospital in France, I carry out comprehensive geriatric assessments (CGA) for older adults with frailty or before management of cancer. I am a member of the ADES research group (Anthropologie Bioculturelle, Droit Éthique et Santé, UMR 7268) and specialize in the domain of ageing. I wrote my thesis on evaluating autonomy and frailty in older patients with cancer. I have also performed several studies on the predictive value of frailty or autonomy scales for the outcome of older patients, highlighting a number of limitations in clinical practice. My latest works integrated biological markers and the impact of these markers on frailty.
