Understanding the Preferences and Views of Older Adults on the Use of Geriatric and Objective Functional Assessments for Cancer Treatment Planning. (NCT06652347)
Facilitating the Engagement and Satisfaction of Older Adults in Their Cancer Care Planning: A Randomized Study to Understand the Preferences and Views of Older Adults Regarding the Use of Geriatric and Objective Functional Assessments for Cancer Treatment Planning
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This Interventional clinical study aims to explore how receiving information about their health and physical abilities affects the treatment decisions of older adults. The study will look at whether sharing detailed assessments of their health and functional status helps older adults better understand their condition and make informed decisions about their care. The main question it aims to answer is if providing this information changes the treatment priorities of older adults, helping them focus on what matters most to them in their medical care.
