Cancer: Geriatric Assessment and Clinical Outcomes in Older Oncology Patients (SOCARE)
Research Question:
We are requesting to be able to use your information to teach others on the best care
for adults aged 65 and older with cancer.
Basic Study Information
Purpose:
We are asking for your participation in this study not as consent to undergo this
testing (as it is undertaken for all new patients), but so that we may follow your
evaluation results, and determine how this testing influences our shared decisions
regarding your care and treatment. This information is useful, as it is understood
that older patients (greater than or equal to 65-years old) often have different levels
of health, and outside challenges that can influence their care. Historically, older
patients have not received equal treatment for cancer and may be at greater risk for
possible side effects from treatment. It is our hope that these tools, well-established
at identifying areas of risk, will provide meaningful opportunities of intervention
that will promote your safety.
