Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

A comprehensive geriatric assessment tool developed by Hurria and colleagues has been used in non-radiation oncology clinical settings to predict how older adults tolerate cancer treatments. The investigators think this same tool (referred to as the CGA) can be used in a radiation oncology clinic to predict for poor treatment tolerance.
