Oncogeriatric consultation aim to help oncologists determine the best solutions to combine therapy and quality of life. Factors influencing quality of life of cancer patients have been studied previously. However, these studies always focus on one specific cancer.

RECRUITINGEORTC QLQ-C30
The QLQ-C30 is a generic questionnaire with 30 questions coded in 4 response modalities (not at all (1), a little (2), enough (3), a lot (4)) or in 7 response modalities (from very bad (1) to excellent ( 7)). Questions are summarized in five multiitem domains (physical, role, cognitive, emotional, and social functioning) and nine single item domains (fatigue, pain, nausea/vomiting, appetite loss, financial impact; diarrhea, constipation, sleep disturbance and quality of life). Each domain is scored between 0 and 100. For functional domains, a high score value represents a high level of quality of life. For symptom domains, a high score represents an important level of symptoms (a low level of quality of life).
