This is a minimal risk, pilot cluster randomized controlled trial (CRT) to determine the feasibility and acceptability of training medical oncologists to use the Best Case/Worst Case-Geriatric Oncology (BC/WC-GeriOnc) communication tool in clinical practice with older adults with cancer.

Best Case/Worst Case (BC/WC) Geriatric Oncology (GeriOnc) communication tool

The BC/WC framework guides clinicians to present a choice between two options and uses scenario planning (narrative descriptions of plausible outcomes that acknowledge uncertainty) to describe the best, worst, and most likely case for each option. Scenarios are informed by clinical judgement and knowledge of patient risk factors. These scenarios plus an accompanying graphic aid help patients formulate and express preferences and concerns about treatment burdens and outcomes. The clinician then provides a goal-concordant recommendation.
