In geriatric oncology, caregivers are submitted to a risk of exhaustion. To investigate the clinical risk factor of exhaustion, the researchers propose to conduct a prospective observational study during 6 months phone follow up of the caregivers. The recruitment will take place during the oncogeriatric assessment consultation.
The primary purpose aim to describe the caregiver of patient with 70 years old or more, suffered from cancer and for which a treatment is planned, along with their long term evolution. The secondary purposes are to : * Assess the exhaustion level felt by this caregiver * Assess the medium delay of caregiver exhaustion apparition * Relate factors associated to the medium delay of caregiver exhaustion apparition during patient chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy treatment

Time frame: 6 months
Medium delay of caregiver exhaustion apparition is assessed with Mini-Zarit scale
An exhaustion is noticed when caregiver score is ≥ 2 on Mini-Zarit scale. However, the medium delay of caregiver exhaustion apparition is also assessed with an increasing of 2 points from caregiver baseline score on mini-Zarit scale. subjects will be followed for the duration of patient treatment and follow-up in geriatric department, an average of 6 months
Time frame: 6 months
Factors associated with medium delay of caregiver exhaustion apparition are determined with caregiver and patient features
