Usual Oncology Care
Participants receiving usual oncology care will not meet routinely with geriatric clinicians, though they may receive a geriatrics consult at their request or at the discretion of their treating team.
Transdisciplinary Intervention
Patients randomized to the transdisciplinary intervention will undergo evaluation with a board-certified geriatric clinician, who will tailor their care based on the results of a brief geriatric screening tool, completed prior to their visit. We will test a two-visit transdisciplinary intervention with the first visit occurring within four weeks of enrollment and the second visit four weeks after the initial visit.
