Simple checklists aim to predict who suffers most from chemo

NCT ID NCT07184047

Summary

This study tested two short questionnaires to see if they could predict which older patients (65+) with digestive cancers would experience severe side effects from chemotherapy. Researchers followed 72 patients to see if their scores on these frailty checklists matched up with who had the worst treatment reactions. The goal is to help doctors better identify vulnerable patients before starting treatment, allowing for more personalized care plans.
