Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
A Feasibility study Geriatric assessment applied to patients with cancer of the head and neck, lung cancer, upper gastrointestinal cancer or colo-rectal cancer. On the day of planning the oncologic treatment Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) will be offered to patients aged 70 years and up. Based on the CGA a tailored multidisciplinary intervention is planned with the patients. The study aims 1) to investigate if it is feasible to offer CGA to all elderly (+70 years) patients with the relevant cancer diagnoses as mentioned above in The Central Denmark Region (Region Midt) , 2) to estimate the proportion of frail, vulnerable or fit elderly cancer patients, 3) to investigate the impact of a CGA on the planned oncologic treatment intensity, and 4) to investigate the ability of CGA to predict complications to cancer treatment within a three months period.
