The CANA project will conduct a needs assessment to identify: 1) the most pressing needs of older adults with cancer who have been treated at Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center and LAC+USC medical center and 2) to understand how physicians approach treatment decision making for their older patients with cancer. The overall goal of this project is to acquire information to improve tertiary cancer prevention and better serve the older adults with cancer.
