Study Summary
This trial is testing whether conducting a survey called the geriatric assessment with elderly breast cancer patients can help identify symptoms and issues earlier. The hope is that this will lead to better patient outcomes.

This trial is for women aged 70 or older who have recently finished primary treatment for early-stage breast cancer. Participants must be able to read English and provide informed consent. Women with dementia, altered mental status, or conditions affecting their ability to consent are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study uses a geriatric assessment survey post-treatment to identify issues in elderly breast cancer survivors. The results guide the medical team in making specialist referrals. It aims to see if these steps can fit into regular clinic visits and if patients follow through on recommendations.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves assessments and referrals rather than direct medical interventions, there are no typical medication side effects; however, participants may experience stress or anxiety from the evaluation process.
