Optimising the Cancer Management of Older Patients by Early and Specific Geriatric Interventions, a French Multicentre Randomised Trial. (WARNING)

July 9, 2026 updated by: Poitiers University Hospital

Optimization of Care in Older Patients With Cancer Undergoing Treatment in Day Care Unit, Through a Specific Management Based on Early Geriatric Warning Signs: a Multicenter Randomized Trial.

The WARNING project proposes a new care organisation for older patients with cancer. The aim is to optimise management in daycare with early detection signs of geriatric syndromes and specific interventions. This prevention package, called the 'WARNING Pack', includes a specific multimodal geriatric management guide for the oncologist (physician form), based on patient-reported early geriatric warning signs (patient form). Primary outcome is to reduce the risk of deterioration in global quality of life at 6 months during treatment and to prevent the onset of geriatric syndromes.
