The Self Geriatric Assessment Measure [SGAM] is based on a standard diagnostic tool used to evaluate geriatric cancer patients in order to determine the appropriateness of cancer directed therapy at LCI. This questionnaire has sections that matches portions of a self-administered geriatric assessment in patients aged 70 or older with malignancy. The prolonged duration of time needed to complete the assessment makes its performance less feasible in standard practice settings. In previously published studies the Cancer Specific Geriatric Assessment (CSGA) has been provided both via written questionnaire and by personal computer in subjects 70 years of age or older. With improvements in technology, the goal is to evaluate the feasibility of administering the SGAM via an iPad tablet and compare results to both gold standard paper format and prior desktop computer data. This study proposes the use of an iPad tablet to administer the SGAM may help: Improve the completion rate of the SGAM assessment Reduction in the time of completion Improvement in the accuracy of reporting

| Primary | Survey completion rate | Assess and compare the proportions of subjects completing, defined as recording responses for at least 70% of actionable questions of the SGAM in subjects aged 70 years or older with malignancy using an iPad tablet versus written questionnaire. | 12 months | |
| Secondary | Rate of survey completion without assistance | To assess and compare the proportions of subjects completing the SGAM without assistance using an iPad tablet versus written questionnaire. | 12 months | |
| Secondary | Total time of interaction with iPad survey | To evaluate and compare the total times of interaction with the SGAM using an iPad tablet versus written questionnaire in both all evaluable subjects and the subset of evaluable subjects completing the SGAM. | 12 months | |
| Secondary | Percentage of recorded responses | To evaluate and compare the distributions of percentages of recorded responses on actionable questions (from 0% to 100%) on the SGAM using an iPad tablet versus written questionnaire in both all evaluable subjects and the subset of evaluable subjects completing the SGAM. | 12 months | |
| Secondary | Rate of technical issues within iPad group | To describe the rate of technical issues experienced by iPad survey users. | 12 months |
