Predictive Value of Geriatric Oncology Screening and Geriatric Assessment in Older Patients With Solid Cancers

"All patients will receive standardized oncological treatment according to national guidelines. For patients randomized to the intervention arm, a full Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) and corresponding interventions on identified health issues will be performed alongside oncologic treatment. The domains are assessed using validated tests based on a Danish version of the Geriatric Core Dataset (G-CODE). The domains are cognition, mood, comorbidity, functional status, physical status, polypharmacy, nutrition, fall risc and social support. The CGA will be performed by the PhD-student (geriatric resident) or a geriatrician together with geriatric nurses at the Department of Geriatric Medicine, OUH. Nutritional status and interventions are assessed by a dietician. A physical therapist will evaluate the physical performance as part of the CGA.~Follow-up on initial treatment plan is scheduled to one month after baseline CGA."
