A Geriatric Assessment Intervention for Patients Aged 70 and Over Receiving Chemotherapy or Similar Agents for Advanced Cancer: Reducing Toxicity in Older Adults
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment, Quality-of-Life Assessment, and 1 other intervention for Adult Solid Neoplasm and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 733 participants across 23 sites.
Detailed Summary
This cluster randomized clinical trial compares a geriatric assessment intervention with usual care for reducing cancer treatment toxicity in older patients with cancer that has spread to other places in the body. A geriatric assessment may identify risk factors for cancer treatment toxicity and may improve outcomes for older patients with advanced cancer.
