Cancer and Aging Research Group (CARG) Chemotherapy Toxicity Risk Scores in Older Adults With Cancer in China

Summary

The goal of this observational study is to learn about the impact of chemotherapy-related toxicity on older cancer patients in China. The main question it aims to answer is: Does the Cancer and Aging Research Group (CARG) chemotherapy toxicity risk score predict chemotherapy-related toxicity in Chinese cancer patients over age 70? Participants over age 70 on systemic chemotherapy will answer questions listed in the CARG chemotherapy toxicity risk tool.
