    Optimizing the approach to older adults with cancer is now a priority given the increasing frequency of new cancer diagnoses that are made in the older population. The comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) represents the gold‐standard for (1) defining prognosis and ability to withstand cancer treatments, (2) exploring the multiple aspects that define the complexity of frail older persons, and (3) designing person‐tailored interventions.

    Objective To describe a new ultrasound marker of the Great Saphenous Vein at the groin. Method An ultrasound marker of the Great Saphenous Vein was identified as follows: the Great Saphenous Vein was tracked in cross-sectionally starting from the Sapheno Femoral Junction and optimally visualized where it crosses the Adductor Longus muscle, i.e., 3–5 cm below the junction. This marker, corresponding to a very superficial position of Great Saphenous Vein, was named “E Point,” where E means easy to find. The search for the E point was performed on 230 limbs of 126 subjects with or without chronic venous insufficiency (training population) and the method was validated in 58 subjects (testing population). Results The E point was successfully recorded in 128/144 (89%) pathologic and in 85/86 (99%) healthy limbs. Being free from other structures, at the E point the Great Saphenous Vein was always easily calibrated. In 17 cases, the E point could not be identified due to an hypoplasic Great Saphenous Vein; in such instances, the Anterior Accessory Saphenous Vein was well evident and substituted for the Great Saphenous Vein as the main draining vein at the groin. Conclusion The E point identifies the Great Saphenous Vein in healthy and varicose patients. Failure to identify the E point indicates Anterior Accessory Saphenous Vein dominance over a hypoplasic Great Saphenous Vein.
