Abstract
The sum of these intervention studies suggests that a CGA can be performed in a variety of settings (inpatient, outpatient, or home), is a multidisciplinary effort, and can lead to interventions that may decrease the risk of morbidity and mortality in older patients with cancer. Further studies are needed using a CGA to (1) guide and test interventions to improve the care of older adults with cancer and (2) evaluate the impact of cancer therapy on geriatric assessment domains.Entities:
