Pharmacist-led medication assessment and deprescribing intervention for older adults with cancer and polypharmacy: a pilot study

ConclusionsOur three-tool assessment identified three times more potentially inappropriate medications than the Beers Criteria alone. Pharmacist-led deprescribing interventions are feasible and may lead to improved patient outcomes and cost savings. This three-tool assessment process should be incorporated into interdisciplinary assessments of older patients with cancer and validated in future studies.
