Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Geriatric assessment (GA) predicts treatment toxicity and overall mortality in older adults with cancer. To improve treatment decision making in older adults with cancer, the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) and the International Society of Geriatric Oncology recommend implementation of GA for all older adults with cancer. However, in-person GA may not be feasible in several institutions for various reasons, including lack of geriatricians and/or lack of time or resources. These challenges can be minimized through a self-reported online GA that can be completed by patients prior to their medical appointment. In a previous study, the investigators developed a self-reported online GA, known as the Comprehensive Health Assessment for My Cancer treatment Plan (CHAMP) that be used in geriatric oncology to increase accessibility to GA for older adults with cancer. In this study, our aim is to deploy the CHAMP tool to various oncology clinics across 4 institutions and assess feasibility outcomes, as well as the impact of the CHAMP tool on cancer treatment plan and supportive care strategies.

- Older adults completing the CHAMP tool before treatment decision is made
- description
- Eligible participants who consent to the study will be asked to complete questionnaires about socio-demographic characteristics, literacy, and technology comfort. Subsequently, participants will be asked to complete the CHAMP tool at home or in the clinic before their medical appointment with the oncologist. Next, participants will see their oncologist for their consultation. Approximately one week after the consultation, participants will be asked to complete 3 questionnaires about their experience and satisfaction with the CHAMP tool

- Proportion of older adults who consented to the study who completed the CHAMP tool and had a discussion with their oncologist about the CHAMP results.
