Summary

This study tests whether two computer-based survey methods (REDCap and Touchscreen) are practical and reliable for assessing the health of older adults (65+) with cancer. About 100 participants will complete a geriatric assessment on a computer to see if it works as well as traditional methods. The goal is to make it easier for doctors to collect important health information from older cancer patients.
