Brief Summary: RATIONALE: Learning about changes over time in older patients' ability to function after receiving chemotherapy for breast or colon cancer may help doctors learn about the long-term effects of treatment and plan the best treatment.

PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying older patients with newly diagnosed breast cancer or colon cancer.
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES:

* Determine the correlation between the Vulnerable Elders Survey (VES-13) and the battery of Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment tools among breast and colon cancer patients, 65 years and older, in an outpatient setting.
* Assess and compare the abilities of the VES-13 and the battery of Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment tools to predict chemotherapy adherence among these patients.
* Examine the validity of the VES-13 screening tool to identify increased risk of death from all causes at one year after initial VES-13 screening in these patients.
* Examine the validity of the VES-13 screening tool to identify increased risk of functional decline at one year after initial VES-13 screening in these patients.

OUTLINE: Patients complete the Vulnerable Elders Survey (VES-13) and a Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment at baseline and 12 months later. Variables collected include sociodemographics; cognitive, nutritional, psychosocial, and emotional status; tumor characteristics; therapy; and mortality.

Patients are followed for 1 year for chemotherapy adherence and survival.
