Tool for the Detection of Oncogeriatric Fragility in Patients Aged ≥75 Years Undergoing Oncological Treatment.(D-FOG)

Completed
Conditions
Chemotherapy
75 Years Old and More
Cancer
Registration Number
NCT03261128
Lead Sponsor
Poitiers University Hospital
Brief Summary

Many cancers are diagnosed after 75 years. Treatment in chemotherapy begins without evidence of geriatric risk factors. A new tool for screening for geriatric fragilities is used, a self-administered questionnaire carried out by the patient before each chemotherapy cure. The objective is to secure the quality of patient care and to detect the appearance and / or aggravation of geriatric fragilities.

Detailed Description

Evaluation of the feasibility of a new geriatric fragility screening tool (D-FOG) in patients aged ≥ 75 years during oncological treatment:

* Number of D-FOGs filled in: comparison with the number of patients included in the study and the number of visits of each patient.

* Regularity of the D-FOG self-questionnaire by the patient: comparison with the number of visits of the patient for a chemotherapy cure (HDJ or HDS).

* Number of criteria entered by D-FOG: comparison with the total number of criteria to be filled in

* Criterion analysis of D-FOG
