The most frequently rated top priority at treatment initiation was treatment efficacy in both older (73 %) and younger cohorts (79 %), followed by autonomy in the older cohort (13 %) and life expectancy in the younger cohort (14 %). Treatment efficacy was almost systematically cited in the top four priorities for both older (94 %) and younger patients (96 %), followed by autonomy (86 %) for older and life expectancy (82 %) for younger patients.
