Geriatric education and care support for older cancer survivors
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 65 years old or older and are a cancer survivor
- You finished curative-intent treatment for a solid tumor or lymphoma within the last 6 months (or you will finish soon)
- You can do study visits or assessments in-person or by video/tele-health, and you can sign consent
- You and your caregiver (if participating) need to speak and understand English or Spanish
- You can have other ongoing treatments (like hormone therapy), but the cancer treatment must be “curative-intent”
- You must not have a serious problem that would prevent you from understanding consent or participating in study steps (for example, dementia)
