Predictive value of geriatric oncology screening and geriatric assessment of older patients with cancer: A randomized clinical trial protocol (PROGNOSIS-RCT)

Ann-Kristine Weber Giger et al.

Summary: The study aims to evaluate the effects of Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) as an additional intervention in older patients with cancer, with recruitment starting in November 2020 and ongoing. Through a randomized controlled trial, the research will examine the impact of CGA on patients aged 70 and above, diagnosed with cancer and identified as frail.

Efficacy of Reduced-Intensity Chemotherapy With Oxaliplatin and Capecitabine on Quality of Life and Cancer Control Among Older and Frail Patients With Advanced Gastroesophageal Cancer The GO2 Phase 3 Randomized Clinical Trial

Peter S. Hall et al.

Summary: The study indicates that tailored chemotherapy dosing for older and/or frail patients with advanced cancer can provide better patient experience without compromising cancer control. Baseline geriatric assessment may help predict the utility of chemotherapy but did not identify specific groups benefiting from higher-dose treatment.

Predictive Value of Geriatric Oncology Screening and Geriatric Assessment in Older Patients with Solid Cancers: Protocol for a Danish prospective cohort study (PROGNOSIS-G8)

Helena Mogelbjerg Ditzel et al.

Summary: This study aims to evaluate the predictive and prognostic value of G8 and mG8 in older patients with solid malignancies, with a focus on quality of life (QoL). By collecting medical record data and QoL questionnaire results, the study seeks to identify patients who may require treatment modification and additional support to maintain their QoL.
