The researchers want to find out if older adults receiving a survivorship care plan followed by a geriatric assessment visit improves quality of life and satisfaction with care compared to receiving only a survivorship care plan for older adults who have completed chemotherapy for cancer treatment.
This study is a pilot randomized trial to examine whether a geriatric assessment-enhanced survivorship care plan improves satisfaction, knowledge and health-related quality of life compared to standard survivorship care plans among older adults who have completed curative chemotherapy for cancer. The investigator's hypothesis is that older adults who receive a geriatric assessment-enhanced survivorship care plan will report improved satisfaction with care, health-related quality of life, and knowledge and preparedness for survivorship care needs.

| Health related quality of life assessment by the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire EORTC QLQ-30 |
The QLQ-C30 questionnaire is a specific questionnaire for cancer, it is composed of 30 questions or items that assess the quality of life in relation to physical, emotional, social aspects and in general the level of functionality of patients diagnosed with cancer. The QLQ-C30 questionnaire is assigned values between 1 and 4 (1: not at all, 2: a little, 3: a lot, 4: a lot) according to the patient's responses to the item, only in items 29 and 30 are assessed with score from 1 to 7 (1: bad, 7: excellent). The scores obtained are standardized and a score between 0 and 100 is obtained, 0 being the worst possible and 100 the best. |
| 4-6 months |
| Health related quality of life assessment by QLQ14 | QLQ-ELD14 is a validated quality of life questionnaire for cancer patients aged ⩾70 years and it is used in conjunction with EORTC QLQ-30.QLQ-ELD14 comprises five scales (mobility, worries about others, future worries, maintaining purpose and burden of illness) and two single items (joint stiffness and family support) | 4-6 months |
| Self rated patient knowledge and preparedness measured by PLANS assessment tool (Preparing for Life as a New Survivor) | Preparing for Life as a New Survivor (PLANS) survey is utilized to evaluate survivor satisfaction with 1) own knowledge of diagnosis, treatment, and side effects, and 2) communication with the cancer team regarding diagnosis, treatment, and side effects.PLANS questions assess the level of agreement with statements regarding satisfaction with a 4-point scale (strongly disagree, somewhat disagree, somewhat agree, strongly agree) for each statement. | 4-6 months |
