Abstrakt: Cancer is the second leading cause of death in North Carolina and approximately half of cancers are diagnosed in older adults (≥65 years). Cancer clinical trials in older adults are limited and there is a lack of evidence on optimal care strategies in this population. We highlight how big data can fill in gaps in geriatric oncology research.
