Older patient cancer registry for a health check
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy, Infections clinical trials.
This study is a registry that collects information from older adults who may be dealing with cancer. It includes a short health and function check to help doctors understand needs and guide care, even for people who turn out not to have cancer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have an appointment at the North Carolina Cancer Hospital
- You agree to complete a geriatric (older adult) health assessment
- You can read and speak English

This trial collects health information and samples (a “cancer repository”) to help researchers study cancer and cancer risk. You may be able to join if you’ve had cancer before or if you’re at higher risk or have concerning findings.
This study tests whether a structured health education and “older adult care” approach—done with your oncology team—can improve support for people after cancer. It includes older cancer survivors and a chosen caregiver, using in-person or video visits for follow-up.
This study keeps a careful record of children, teens, and young adults with cancer (and some related growths) and may follow them over time. It helps researchers better track outcomes and future contact so care can improve.
This study is a registry that collects information about adults with plasma cell disorders (conditions involving abnormal antibody-producing cells). It may help researchers understand these diseases better and improve future care by tracking patients over time.
This study builds a registry to learn how aging and “resilience” relate to outcomes in people with blood cancers. You may be asked to complete questionnaires during UAB visits, which can help researchers better understand needs in older adults.
This trial enrolls people age 70 or older who have been diagnosed with cancer and are being referred to a geriatrician for a health and care needs review. It tests whether this geriatric assessment and related care approach is useful for elderly cancer patients.
