Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal participants are adults aged 70 or older with ER+/HER2- early-stage breast cancer starting adjuvant CDK4/6 inhibitors with endocrine therapy and who can complete questionnaires.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with significant cognitive impairment or language barriers preventing questionnaire completion may have limited relevance to the study outcomes.

What this trial studies
This observational study focuses on older adults with ER+/HER2- early-stage breast cancer who are starting adjuvant CDK4/6 inhibitors with endocrine therapy. It aims to examine how geriatric screening relates to treatment choices, toxicity, quality of life, and need for dose modifications or discontinuation. The study will collect data on hospitalizations, recurrence, survival, and treatment intensity in routine clinical practice. Researchers will explore associations between geriatric assessment results and clinical outcomes to inform individualized treatment decisions. The findings may guide integration of geriatric screening into standard care for this population.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the approach could help personalize adjuvant therapy for older patients, potentially reducing toxicity while maintaining effectiveness.
How similar studies have gone: Prior trials included younger populations; data on older adults are limited, making this observational study a novel effort to evaluate geriatric screening in this setting.
