Testing the G8 health screening in older adults with cancer
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests a short screening questionnaire called G8 to see how well it helps doctors assess the health and needs of older adults (70+) with solid tumors before starting cancer treatment. If you join, you'll answer some simple questions about your daily life and overall health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 70 years old or older
- You have a solid tumor cancer (any type or stage, but not a blood cancer like leukemia or lymphoma)
- You have been referred to a geriatric oncology clinic or team
- You are planning to start or are already being considered for cancer treatment (like chemo, targeted therapy, or immunotherapy)
- You can answer questions about your health, with help from a caregiver if needed
- You (or a family member) can sign a consent form to participate

This trial tests whether a special check-up (called a geriatric assessment) can improve quality of life for older adults with blood cancer who are also frail. The goal is to help you feel better and manage treatments more effectively.
This study looks at older adults with newly diagnosed epithelial ovarian cancer and checks health factors that can affect treatment, like day-to-day function and support needs. It may help doctors choose better care plans for older patients by understanding risks and needs early.
This study checks whether analyzing how you speak can help measure frailty (overall vulnerability) and distress (emotional stress) in people with active cancer. It may help clinicians track symptoms in a simple, noninvasive way using short voice recordings.
This trial checks whether video visits (teleconsulting) that include a “geriatric oncology” assessment can better support older adults with cancer. It may help your care plan by considering age-related health needs, not just cancer treatment.
This trial studies simple “frailty” assessments (tests of strength, memory, and daily functioning) to better predict risk in people with gynecologic cancers who are planning or having surgery. If you qualify, the results may help doctors identify who needs extra support before and after surgery.
This study tests a simple questionnaire called the G8 to see how well it predicts frailty and early death in people aged 70 or older with cancer. It aims to help doctors better plan treatment for older patients.
