This study aims to examine the effects of Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment and interventions on prognosis in the older frail cancer patient in a Randomized Clinical Trial design.~Patients screened frail with the Geriatric 8 screening tool, aged 70 or more, and found eligible for oncologic treatment, will be included. We plan to enrol a total of 322 cancer patients for 12 months. Participants will be allocated randomly to either interventional or control group.~Participants in the interventional group will be offered a Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment and intervention at the start-up of cancer treatment. The Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment will be an add on to standardized cancer treatment offered at the Oncologic Outpatient Clinic at Odense University Hospital.~Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment will be performed by a team consisting of a doctor, nurse and physiotherapist. If needed, referral to a dietician or an occupational therapist for further evaluation will be made. The health issues are assessed using validated tests based on a Danish version of the Geriatric Core Dataset (G-CODE). Follow-up on Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment is scheduled for one month after initial evaluation.~The randomized groups will be compared with respect to primary and secondary endpoints.
