Frailty screening questionnaire for older adults with cancer
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study is testing a short questionnaire designed to assess frailty in older adults with cancer. The goal is to help doctors better predict how well a patient may handle treatment, so you may receive more personalized care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 70 years old or older.
