Interventions/Control_1

Based on the manual, the interventionist conducts:
1)Geriatric Assessment (GA): a guideline-based assessment of elderly's physical, cognitive and social functioning to assess their vulnerability to treatment.
2)Communication coaching: role-playing to help elderly sort out their goals and values regarding treatment choices using the question promotion list (QPL) and express them to their doctor
3)Providing feedback on the results of the GA and QPL to the patient/family as well as the doctor.

Interventions will be carried out prior to the consultation with the doctor.
Within this process, psychological support will be provided when necessary. Interventionists are clinical psychologists, psycho-oncologists, and nurses who have completed training in accordance with the manual in advance.

Results

Patients' perception did not significantly differ between groups after the consultation. The number of aging-related concerns discussed between patients and oncologists was significantly increased in the intervention group than in the usual care group. The time to complete Geriatric assessment was eleven minutes on average, and seventy percent of the patients performed a self-administered Geriatric assessment without any assistance.

Baseline Characteristics

Among 40 randomly assigned patients, one patient in the intervention group did not complete the intervention due to poor health; 33 of 40 patients had completed 3-month follow-up. There were no group differences in the baseline medical and sociological background. Thirty-one of 40 patients had abnormal G8 score.

Participant flow

Participants were recruited from the Departments of Gastrointestinal Medical Oncology at the National Cancer Center Hospital Tokyo, Japan. The inclusion criteria were as follows: patients 65 years or older with incurable esophageal, gastric, or colorectal cancer; scheduled to start new chemotherapy, patients were required have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status score of 0-2; provision of written consent prior to participation, and ability to read, write, and understand Japanese. Exclusion criteria were patients who were judged by the attending physician to have difficulty participating in the study; scheduled to undergo surgery within 3 months. Trained research assistants reviewed the electric medical records and listed the potentially eligible patients. Research assistants approached eligible patients consecutively with permission from their oncologists. In order to enroll and allocate patients immediately prior to the treatment decision-making, those patients who were still receiving their previous treatment were informed about the study and their consent was obtained so that they could be enrolled in the study when they need to discuss about treatment change with their physicians.

Outcome measures

The key outcomes were the shared decision-making process and the feasibility. The shared decision-making process was evaluated in both subjective and objective ways, patients' perceptions using a decisional conflict scale, and the number of communications using audio-recorded data. Feasibility was evaluated by the time and the assistance to perform Geriatric assessment, and the usefulness and the burden of the program.
