This study is checking if two substances in the blood, called IGF-1 and IGF-1Ec, are linked to how much cancer is in the body. Researchers will measure these levels in 100 adults with solid tumors and compare them to tumor size, stage, and spread. The goal is to see if these mark…

This study looks at whether three easy-to-use health checklists (G8, CARG, and Frailty scales) can predict chemotherapy side effects in people aged 65 and older with solid tumors. Researchers will also check if these scores relate to nutrition blood tests and the need for a drug …
