Summary

This study tests whether adding a geriatric assessment visit to the standard survivorship care plan improves quality of life and satisfaction for adults aged 65 and older who have completed chemotherapy with curative intent. Participants receive either the standard care plan alone or the care plan plus a geriatric assessment. The study measures feasibility, retention, and patient satisfaction to see if this extra step is worthwhile.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a better way to support older adults after cancer treatment, improving their quality of life and satisfaction with care.
