Important Variables for Prognostication in
Older Adults with Cancer
Impact of Comorbidities on Life Expectancy
Increasing Severity of Comorbidities
with Aging
Piccirillo et al. Crit Rev Oncol Hematol. 2008
Impact of Multimorbidity on Outcomes
Increased risk of:
• Death
• Institutionalization
• Increased utilization of healthcare resources
• Decreased quality of life
• Higher rates of adverse effects of treatment or interventions

Cognitive Disorders
• Cognitive disorders are frequently under-
diagnosed
• 24% of geriatric cancer patients are screened
positive for cognitive disorders
• Risks of treatment in patients with dementia
Mohile SG, et al. Cancer 109: 802-10, 2007.
Decreased Survival in Patients with
Cognitive Impairment
Robb C, Boulware D, Overcash J, Extermann M. Patterns of care and survival in cancer patients with cognitive impairment.
Critical Reviews in Oncology/Hematology 4: 218-24, 2010.
Psychological Status
• Prevalence up to 50% in patients with cancer
• Clinical depression predicts severe treatment
related-toxicity and overall survival
• Depression diagnosed prior to and after diagnosis
of cancer were associated with mortality
Freyer G, et al. Ann Oncol. 2005
Pinquart M, et al. Psychol Med. 2010
Massie MJ. JNCI. 2004
Social Support
Influence of marital status on breast cancer
•Unmarried women were more likely to be diagnosed
with breast cancer stage II-IV versus stage I or in situ
•Unmarried women diagnosed with Stage I or II breast
cancer were less likely to receive definitive treatment
•Unmarried women were at increased risk of death
from breast cancer
Osborne C, et al. Breast Cancer Res Treat. 2005
All Older Patients with Cancer are
Not the Same
Oncology versus Geriatrics
• Oncology  stage the cancer
– Make predictions of life expectancy
– Expected side effects of cancer therapy
• Geriatrics  stage the “aging”
– Make predictions of life expectancy
– Anticipate potential complications
– Better evaluate whether the benefits of therapy
outweigh the risks in the context of physiologic age
Chronologic versus Physiologic Age
When considering prognosis and treatment options in
this population, decisions should be based more on
“physiologic” age versus chronologic age.
It is necessary for oncologists to be adept at efficiently
and accurately estimating physiologic and functional
capacity in older patients.

• Functional impairment (ADL score)

Geriatric-Assessment Guided Interventions
Mohile et al, JNCCN, 2015
Delphi Participants
Interventions
• Evaluates the impact of geriatrician-delivered CGA interventions
on chemotherapy toxicity and tolerance for older people with
cancer
• Observational study
Results
• More participants in the intervention group completed
treatment as planned (33.8% vs 11.4%, OR 4.14, P=0.006)
• Fewer required treatment modifications (43.1% vs 68.6%, OR
0.34, P=0.006)
• Non-significant trend towards fewer discontinuing treatment
early (40.0% vs 51.4%, OR 0.63, P=0.183)
• No difference in all-cause death rates at 6 months (20.0%
control, 15.4% intervention, P.0.483).
*Adjusted for age, comorbidity, metastatic disease and initial
dose reductions
Toxicity
• Non-significant trend for a lower grade 3+ toxicity
rate in the intervention cohort (43.8% vs 52.9%,
P=0.292)
A Pilot Study of Geriatric Assessment
Intervention for Older Cancer Patients
Receiving Systemic Cancer Treatment
• Prospective, randomized pilot study evaluating the effect
GA-driven interventions
• Primary Aim:
– To determine if providing information regarding GA and
GA-guided interventions to oncologists reduces grade 3-5
toxicity in patients aged 70 and over receiving first or
second-line treatment with chemotherapy
A Pilot Study of Geriatric Assessment
Intervention for Older Cancer Patients
Receiving Systemic Cancer Treatment
• Secondary Aims:
– To determine the effects of GA-guided interventions on
functional measures, hospitalizations, and dose delays/early
termination of treatment
– To determine if providing oncologists with the results of GA
and GA-guided interventions influences overall survival
– To determine whether providing oncologists with the results of
GA influences decision making
Eligibility Criteria
•Patients age 70 and older
•Solid tumor malignancies
•Recommended by primary oncologist to receive treatment
with chemotherapy/chemoRT
– First or second line treatment
•Have decision-making capacity or an assigned HCP
Pilot Study Results
Baseline Characteristics balanced between the two
groups with the exception of
• IADL impairment: higher in the intervention group (p = 0.046)
• CARG-toxicity score: higher in intervention group (8% vs 27%, p=0.10)
Pilot Study Results
3 month follow-up:
Overall 58% of patients experienced grade 3-5 toxicity within 3 months
There was no significant difference between the control and intervention
group (48.3 % vs 51.7%, p = 0.96)
There were no significant differences in rates of:
Hospitalization (38% vs 23%, p= 0.26)
Dose reduction (42% vs 39%; p= 0.82)
Dose delays (42% vs 35%; p= 0.61)

Pilot Study Results

•GA at 3 months demonstrated increased interval
development of depression in the control group
•(36% vs 5%; p = 0.02)
Pilot Study Results

Function
• Resolution of baseline differences in IADL
dependence
•(44% vs 42%; p=0.90)
Pilot Study Discussion
Conclusions:
• Able to enroll older, advanced cancer patients to a clinical trial in a
reasonable timeframe
• Patients not being referred to the geri-onc clinic have a good deal
of geriatric-related issues
• Unfortunately, we weren’t able to see that the intervention
algorithm improved the primary outcome – chemotherapy toxicity
for patients
• Did see improvements with regards to function and depression

Primary Aim
To determine if providing information
regarding GA and GA-driven
recommendations to oncologists reduces
grade 3-5 chemotherapy toxicity in
patients aged 70 and over with advanced
solid tumor malignancy
Conceptual Model
Schema
Summary
• The population is aging
• Older adults often have other comorbidities, geriatric
syndromes, functional and cognitive impairment,
polypharmacy and reduced social support
• GA can help predict outcomes and decision-making
• More data is needed on impact of GA-driven interventions
on outcomes
