This phase III cluster randomized trial compares the effect of geriatric evaluation and
management with survivorship health education (GEMS) to usual care on patient-reported
physical function in older survivors of cancer. Survivorship care for older adults of cancer
usually consists of getting advice from their doctor. This advice may include how to do their
daily activities, so they are less tired or how to manage multiple diseases, or long-term
side effects from treatment. GEMS may help improve the physical ability to perform activities
of daily living, mental well-being, and memory in older survivors of cancer after
chemotherapy. This study may help doctors learn if including GEMS in their practices improves
physical, mental and memory functions in their patients. The study may also help to
understand how such care affects cancer patients and their caregivers' quality of life.
