GEMS/Mustian/URCC19178
Basic Study Information
Purpose:
This phase III cluster randomized trial compares the effect of geriatric evaluation
and management with survivorship health education (GEMS) to usual care on patient-reported
physical function in older survivors of cancer. Survivorship care for older adults
of cancer usually consists of getting advice from their doctor. This advice may include
how to do their daily activities, so they are less tired or how to manage multiple
diseases, or long-term side effects from treatment. GEMS may help improve the physical
ability to perform activities of daily living, mental well-being, and memory in older
survivors of cancer after chemotherapy. This study may help doctors learn if including
GEMS in their practices improves physical, mental and memory functions in their patients.
The study may also help to understand how such care affects cancer patients and their
caregivers' quality of life.
