Summary
This study looked at 182 older adults with blood cancer or lung cancer to see if a special calculator could predict who would have severe side effects from chemotherapy. Researchers measured patients' fitness before and after treatment to better understand how well they could handle the drugs. The goal is to help doctors choose safer treatments for older patients in the future.
