Great to present work on the GO2 trial at #SIOG2022 .

1. Baseline sx burden in older and/or frail patients with advanced GOA is high.

2. Sx are associated with inferior OS & QALY.

3. Accounting for these may affect treatment toxicity reporting.

Prof Russell Petty UoD Medicine

A brilliant effort from the UK Oncology trainees who have coordinated and recruited at their local sites.

Looking forward to the results as we assess the CARG score prospectively in a UK population of older adults with cancer.

Our editorial in Age_and_Ageing commenting on a cross-sectional analysis of ClinicalTrials.gov by Yang et al:
- Only 1% of interventional trials were older adult specific
- Uncommon use of clinically meaningful endpoints
