Checking a health questionnaire for older adults with cancer
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study is testing a simple questionnaire (called the G8) that helps doctors understand how older adults are doing overall when they are diagnosed with cancer. It aims to show whether this questionnaire can be used to better plan care for people 70 and older with solid tumors.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 70 years of age or older.
- You have a solid tumor cancer (not a blood cancer like leukemia or lymphoma).
- Your doctor has referred you to a geriatric oncology (older-adult cancer care) clinic.
- You are planning to start or are currently receiving cancer treatment (like chemotherapy or targeted pills).
- You can answer questions about your health, either on your own or with help from a caregiver.

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 study looks at how frailty (physical weakness and vulnerability) affects quality of life in older women with breast cancer. It aims to understand the connection so that care can be better tailored to your needs.
This study checks if a special health assessment helps improve recovery for patients aged 70 and older who are having surgery for a non-cancer condition. The assessment looks at overall well-being to help your medical team plan your care.
This study is testing a short questionnaire (the sG8 scale) to help doctors better understand the overall health of older adults with cancer. By answering a few questions, you may help doctors plan treatments that are safer and more effective for people your age.
