Detailed Description: The G-oncoCOACH study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) process coordinated by a geriatric team in combination with intensive patient coaching compared to the current standard of care, which is CGA coordinated by an oncology team. The Medical Research Council (MRC) Framework, developed to test complex interventions, is used to design this study. A multicenter randomized controlled trial will be conducted in two academic hospitals (UZ Brussel - UZ Leuven) with a follow-up at 3, 6 and 12 months after the start of systemic therapy. Patients will be recruited in both academic hospitals in the period between the cancer diagnosis and the start of the systemic therapy.
