Dr Camille Chakiba speaks to ecancer about the PRIORITY multicenter cohort study.

This study explores the expectations and priorities of cancer patients over 70, involving 80 patients in a centric study, and 227 in a multicentric study.

Key findings reveal that treatment efficacy, autonomy for older patients, and life expectancy for younger patients are top priorities.

The study stresses the importance of clear discussions about treatment goals and patient involvement in clinical trial designs, along with the need for patient-reported outcomes in research evaluations.
