NCT ID NCT06022965
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a special health check-up done over video (telemedicine) can help find weak spots in older adults with cancer and guide their care. It includes 216 people aged 65 and older with cancer who are starting a new treatment. The goal is to see if this approach leads to better planning and fewer side effects compared to usual care.
