1861P Influence of comprehensive geriatric assessment on therapeutic decision in elderly cancer patients

Abstract

Background: To improve the management of chemotherapy side effects in cancer patients, we have developed a web based side effects management program using patient-reported outcomes management (PROM). To select clinically significant side effects, we survey the preference of side effect assessment and competency of managements by clinical physicians and nurses. Also, Survey respondents were compared to see if there were differences from other countries in managing serious side effects. Methods: In August 2019, a survey for the use of PROM, expertise in managing chemotherapy side effects, and clinically important symptoms from 124 symptoms of PRO-CTCAE was conducted on 776 physicians and nurses who treat cancer patients. 246 of 776 (31.7%) responded, 86 were physicians and 160 were nurses.abstracts Annals of Oncology Volume 31 -Issue S4 -2020 S1063Legal entity responsible for the study: Miraoui Dalila.
