LCCC1931: Interventions to Address Symptoms and Deficits in Women Age 70 Plus During the First Year Post Primary Treatment for Early Breast Cancer

This study recruits woman over the age of 70 who have completed primary treatment for early breast cancer in the last 2 months. A survey called the geriatric assessment will be used to identify symptoms and issues participants experience.This information will be given to the patient's medical oncology team, and used to make referrals to specialists. This study is designed to determine if these assessments and timely interventions can be completed during clinic visits, and determine if these participants comply with recommendations.
