Summary

This study tested an electronic platform called eGAP that helps older cancer patients (65+) complete questionnaires about their health. The goal was to see if the platform was easy to use and practical for patients, caregivers, and doctors. The study was terminated early after enrolling only 21 of the planned 50 participants, so the results are limited.
