Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Older adults with cancer remain underrepresented in cancer clinical trials that establish new standards of care. Geriatric assessment (GA) is defined by geriatricians as a multidimensional interdisciplinary assessment of the general health stat us of the older patient, reviewing the medical, psychosocial, functional and environmental domains. For each domain, several tools are available, but consensus is lacking on which tool to use and the optimal cut-offs or threshold scores. The literature supports the prognostic value of the GA and its utility in weighing the benefits and risks of cancer treatments in older adults. However, GA has not been implemented in routine oncology practice or in cancer clinical trials. The objective of this project is to develop a set of geriatric data, the Geriatric Core Dataset (G-CODE), to be collected in cancer trials of older patients. The methods rely on a consensus process involving international experts in the field of oncology and geriatrics.
