Summary

This study looked at 56 older adults (65+) with multiple myeloma to see if a comprehensive geriatric assessment—a series of questions and tests about physical and mental health—along with blood tests could predict who would have severe side effects from chemotherapy. The goal is to help doctors tailor treatments to each patient's fitness level. The study did not test a new treatment but aimed to gather knowledge for future care.
