Geriatric Assessment and Intervention in Older Patients Undergoing Surgery for Colorectal Cancer

ABSTRACT: The GEPOC study investigates the effect of comprehensive geriatric assessment and intervention for frail older patients (65 years or older) undergoing elective surgery for colorectal cancer. the geriatric intervention will be pre- and postoperative. included in the intervention is an exercise intervention. The main aim of the study us to see if the functional decline in this group can be reduced.

Geriatric Intervention in Frail Elderly Patients With Colorectal Cancer

Project description:This is a randomized, controlled trial on frail elderly patients (aged 65+) with colorectal cancer. The patients will be randomized into two groups. The control group will receive standard surgical treatment. The intervention group will in addition go through a preoperative comprehensive geriatric assessment. The assessment will include evaluation of co-morbidity and medication, social status, nutritional status, cognition, depression and physical performance. This assessment will form basis of an individualized perioperative intervention. The main aim of the study is to see if the number of postoperative complications in this group can be reduced by a perioperative geriatric intervention. A study of inflammation markers in serum will also be performed, with focus on identifying potential biological frailty markers.

Computer-Based Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment in Oncology for Individuals 70 or Older With Gastrointestinal Malignancies

Project description:Older individuals account for one-third of new cancer cases and cancer-related deaths in the United States. Older individuals are more susceptible to having a decrease in physical and mental function following chemotherapy treatment. Geriatric assessment may provide a way to identify those older individuals at greatest risk of functional decline before treatment starts and during the period of treatment. Geriatric assessment includes a set of screening questions and tests designed to determine the physical and mental status of the individual at a point in time. Geriatric assessment also includes review of medications and other medical conditions the individual may have that may affect function. The investigators are conducting this study to determine if older individuals are able to complete the geriatric assessment using a computer format and how that corresponds to their treating physician’s assessment of their functional status before and after starting a new chemotherapy treatment for colon, rectal, breast or lung cancer. The investigators will also evaluate the usefulness of a computerized form of geriatric assessment.

Effect of Geriatric Intervention in Frail Elderly Patients Receiving Chemotherapy for Colorectal Cancer

Project description:GERICO is a randomized, controlled prospective trial. The aim is to investigate if frail, elderly patients with stage II-IV colorectal cancer, will profit from full comprehensive geriatric assessment and intervention before and during treatment with chemotherapy. The hypotheses are: Optimizing the health conditions and functional status of frail elderly patients who suffers from stage II-IV colorectal cancer, with geriatric intervention will lead to a higher grade of completing the planned chemotherapy and at higher dose intensity. This will also result in a higher overall survival and improve quality of life.

No effect of calcifediol supplementation on skeletal muscle transcriptome in vitamin D deficient frail older adults.

Project description:Vitamin D deficiency is common among older adults and has been linked to muscle weakness. Vitamin D supplementation has been proposed as a strategy to improve muscle function in older adults. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of calcifediol (25-hydroxycholecalciferol) on whole genome gene expression in skeletal muscle of vitamin D deficient frail older adults. A double-blind placebo controlled trial was conducted in vitamin D deficient frail older adults (aged above 65), characterized by blood 25-hydroxycholecalciferol concentrations between 20 and 50 nmol/L. Subjects were randomized across the placebo group (n=12) and the calcifediol group (n=10, 10 µg per day). Muscle biopsies were obtained before and after six months of calcifediol or placebo supplementation and subjected to whole genome gene expression profiling using Affymetrix HuGene 2.1ST arrays. Expression of the vitamin D receptor gene was virtually undetectable in human skeletal muscle biopsies. Calcifediol supplementation led to a significant increase in blood 25-hydroxycholecalciferol levels compared to the placebo group. No difference between treatment groups was observed on strength outcomes. The whole transcriptome effects of calcifediol and placebo were very weak. Correcting for multiple testing using false discovery rate did not yield any differentially expressed genes using any sensible cut-offs. P-values were uniformly distributed across all genes, suggesting that low p-values are likely to be false positives. Partial least squares-discriminant analysis and principle component analysis was unable to separate treatment groups. Calcifediol supplementation did not affect the skeletal muscle transcriptome in frail older adults. Our findings indicate that vitamin D supplementation has no effects on skeletal muscle gene expression, suggesting that skeletal muscle may not be a direct target of vitamin D in older adults.

The SaVe Project-Sarcopenia and Vertigo in Aging Patients With Colorectal Cancer

Project description:The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the cause of dizziness and decline in walking ability in in older adults ≥65 years during chemotherapy treatment for colorectal cancer. Another goal is to investigate if a comprehensive geriatric assessment and three months’ specialized physical group-based exercise three times/week can counteract muscle weakness, vertigo, instability, impaired walking balance, and neuropathy

Geriatric muscle stem cells switch reversible quiescence into senescence (Set 1; Geriatric vs. Young)

Project description:Regeneration of skeletal muscle depends on a population of adult stem cells (satellite cells) that remain quiescent throughout life. Satellite cell regenerative functions decline with aging. Here we report that geriatric satellite cells, compared to old cells, are incapable of maintaining their normal quiescent state in muscle homeostatic conditions, and this irreversibly affects their intrinsic regenerative and self-renewal capacities. We analyzed the global changes in gene expression occurring within muscle stem cells (satellite cells) in homeostatic conditions during physiological aging. Pure satellite cell populations from dissociated skeletal muscle from Young (2-3 months) and Geriatric (28-32 months) mice were isolated using a well-established flow cytometry protocol gating on integrin a7(+)/CD34(+) (positive selection) and Lin- (CD31, CD45, CD11b, Sca1) (negative selection).

Geriatric muscle stem cells switch reversible quiescence into senescence (Set 2; Old/Geriatric vs. Young and SAMR1 vs. SAMP8)

Project description:Regeneration of skeletal muscle depends on a population of adult stem cells (satellite cells) that remain quiescent throughout life. Satellite cell regenerative functions decline with aging and in progeric conditions. Here we report that geriatric satellite cells, compared to old cells, are incapable of maintaining their normal quiescent state in muscle homeostatic conditions, and this irreversibly affects their intrinsic regenerative and self-renewal capacities. We analyzed the global changes in gene expression occurring within muscle stem cells (satellite cells) in homeostatic conditions during physiological aging and progeria. Pure satellite cell populations from dissociated skeletal muscle from Young (2-3 months), Old (22-24 months), Geriatric (28-30 months), SAMR1 and SAMP8 mice were isolated using a well-established flow cytometry protocol gating on integrin a7(+)/CD34(+) (positive selection) and Lin- (CD31, CD45, CD11b, Sca1) (negative selection).
