NCT ID NCT05619731
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether using video calls for geriatric checkups before cancer treatment can lower the number of unplanned hospital stays for patients aged 75 and older who live far from specialists. About 500 participants will be randomly assigned to either standard care or a video consultation with a geriatric team and a pharmacist. The main goal is to see if the video approach reduces hospital readmissions within three months.
