The Cancer and Aging Research Group Chemotherapy Toxicity Tool (CARG-TT) estimates the risk of severe chemotherapy-related side effects (Grade 3 or greater toxicity) in older cancer patients.

How is your hearing (with a hearing aid, if needed)? Can you take your own medicines? Does your health limit you in walking one block? During the past 4 weeks, how much of the time has your physical health or emotional problems interfered with your social activities (like visiting with friends, relatives, etc.)? What does this mean?

The CARG score is a predictive model developed to identify older patients (aged > 65) at increased risk of severe (grade 3-5) chemotherapy toxicity. The model was developed using data from a multi-centre prospective study of 500 cancer patients aged 65 years or older scheduled to receive chemotherapy.
