The investigators will explore their perceptions of the supportive care needs of older patients with cancer. Using these data, the investigators will finalize the transdisciplinary intervention and perform a pilot, randomized trial of the transdisciplinary intervention versus usual care in patients age ≥65 with newly diagnosed, incurable cancer.
Primary Outcome
We will use qualitative assessment methods to characterize the sample and explore participant perceptions of the supportive care needs of older patients with cancer.
