Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The researchers want to find out if older adults receiving a survivorship care plan followed by a geriatric assessment visit improves quality of life and satisfaction with care compared to receiving only a survivorship care plan for older adults who have completed chemotherapy for cancer treatment.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study is a pilot randomized trial to examine whether a geriatric assessment-enhanced survivorship care plan improves satisfaction, knowledge and health-related quality of life compared to standard survivorship care plans among older adults who have completed curative chemotherapy for cancer. The investigator's hypothesis is that older adults who receive a geriatric assessment-enhanced survivorship care plan will report improved satisfaction with care, health-related quality of life, and knowledge and preparedness for survivorship care needs.

Standard of care (control group) will receive routine care only and will not be scheduled for a Comprehensive Geriatric Assessments visit.

Comprehensive geriatric assessment ( intervention group) will be scheduled for a Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment visit that will take place with a geriatric nurse practitioner of a physician as soon as possible following enrollment and randomization (preferably within 2 weeks).
