Summary

This study tests a new tool that predicts which older adults (65+) are at high risk for severe side effects from cancer treatments like chemo, targeted therapy, or immunotherapy. About 400 participants will either get usual care or have their treatment adjusted based on the tool's risk score. The goal is to see if using the tool can reduce serious side effects in the first two months.
