ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how well the sG8 scale, a tool for assessing older patients' health, can be used in real-world settings for those with solid tumors, like breast or lung cancer. The study will include patients aged 65 and older who need treatment for their cancer. Before starting their therapy, these patients will be evaluated using the sG8 scale, but the study will not change their usual treatment plan. The researchers will collect important information about the patients' health and treatment experiences from their medical records during the study.

To be eligible for this trial, patients must be 65 years or older and have a confirmed diagnosis of cancer that requires systemic anti-tumor therapy, meaning they need treatment that affects the whole body, like chemotherapy. They should also be expected to live for at least 12 weeks after joining the study. However, patients who do not meet these criteria or who are unwilling to participate in the health assessment will not be included. Overall, participants can expect their usual treatment to continue while providing valuable information that could help improve care for older cancer patients in the future.
