Study to reveal how frailty impacts older breast cancer Patients' Well-Being
NCT ID NCT07159321
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study looks at 100 older women (60+) newly diagnosed with breast cancer to understand how frailty affects their quality of life. Researchers will use geriatric assessments and questionnaires to measure frailty and well-being over 6 months. The goal is to help doctors make better treatment decisions for this often-overlooked group.

- If successful, this could help doctors tailor breast cancer treatments for older women by considering frailty and quality of life.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial, so it won't directly improve health. Results may not apply to all settings.
