Summary

This research study is evaluating if co-management by a geriatrician embedded in the oncology clinic can improve outcomes for frail older adults with blood cancers. A rigorous pre-entry frailty assessment by a trained research assistant will be followed by randomization to geriatrician co-management versus usual care for patients found to be frail or pre-frail.
