First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether a special health check-up for older adults (called a geriatric assessment) can help them and their caregivers talk more effectively with their doctors about age-related concerns. About 479 older cancer patients and their caregivers are taking part. The goal is to see if this approach improves satisfaction, quality of life, and reduces side effects from chemotherapy.
