Geriatric Screening for Hospitalized Older Adults with Cancer: A Survey of the Japanese Association of Clinical Cancer Centers.

Objective Geriatric screening followed by a more detailed assessment and intervention is recommended for older adults with cancer. However, little is known regarding how the geriatric screening covered by Japanese health insurance is used for hospitalized older cancer patients. We surveyed all hospitals in Japanese Association of Clinical Cancer Centers (JACCC) to explore the current use of this approach.
