This trial is testing whether a practical health assessment—a set of questions and simple tests about your overall health and abilities—can help your cancer doctors choose the safest and most effective treatment for you. The assessment looks at things like your physical strength, memory, mood, and ability to do daily activities. Doctors use these results to decide which cancer treatments might work best for you with the fewest side effects.
Older adults with cancer often experience serious side effects from treatment, but doctors don't always have a clear picture of each patient's overall health before deciding on therapy. This study exists to see whether using this practical health assessment tool can reduce harmful side effects and help doctors personalize treatment choices for older patients.

If you join the main study group, you will complete the practical health assessment, which takes about 10–15 minutes and asks about your physical abilities, memory, and daily activities. If you join the detailed study group, you'll also wear a Fitbit activity tracker for a period of time, have a body composition scan, and answer some surveys about how you're feeling. Your doctors will use the results from the assessment to help guide your cancer treatment decisions.
