MoCA vs. MMS: Which Tool to Detect Cognitive Disorders in Oncogeriatric?

MoCA vs. MMS: Which Tool to Detect Cognitive Disorders in Oncogeriatric?

This study concerns elderly patients with cancer with onco-geriatric assessment.

This study propose to associate the collection of the results with the Mini-Cog and the CODEX with the passing of the MoCA and the MMS tests, as well as a neuropsychological assessment, in order to determine if the patients have cognitive impairments, to evaluate the sensitivity of these 4 screening tests in elderly patients seeking treatment for their cancer. The results of this study will make it possible, where appropriate, to adapt the practice in the context of oncogeriatric assessment.
