PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To evaluate the association between a baseline comprehensive geriatric assessment (cGA) and chemotherapy toxicity in the first 4 months of treatment measured by treatment-related adverse events, patient-reported outcomes (PROs), and treatment discontinuation in older patients (>= 65 years) with multiple myeloma (MM).
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate the association between a baseline cGA and baseline disease- and host- related laboratory characteristics and cytogenetic risk profile by fluorescence in situ hybridization among newly diagnosed older (>= 65 years) patients with MM.
II. To evaluate how the cGA changes over 4 months from the start of treatment and the association between those changes and treatment response in older patients (>= 65 years) with MM.
III. To evaluate the association between proposed frailty biomarkers at baseline and treatment toxicity in the first 4 months of treatment measured by treatment-related adverse events, PROs, and treatment discontinuation in older (>= 65 years) patients with MM.
OUTLINE: This is an observational study.
Patients complete surveys and undergo cGA, blood sample collection, and electronic health record (EHR) review on study.
