Introduction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Advanced age is the worst carcinogens, causing cancer incidence to rise exponentially in the latter decades of life [1]. Older patients normally have complicated healthy conditions and, in most circumstances, must be reviewed before considering whether to get cancer treatment since both overtreatment and undertreatment are dangerous. The geriatric assessment (GA) assists in diagnosing medical conditions and developing treatment and follow-up plans for older patients from a multidimensional and multidisciplinary perspective [2].<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project Vision<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For our research, the goal is to figure out the following two questions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Can we use GA-based features to predict the 3-month RDI value?<\/strong><\/li>
  2. Among all 145 features, which ones are important? <\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Our project is at the beginning phase of the grand research of the Wilmot Cancer Institute’s Geriatric Oncology Research team at the University of Rochester, whose ultimate goal is to increase the effectiveness of chemotherapy in treating older people with advanced cancer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
