Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Cytological or histological confirmed diagnosis of one of the aforementioned cancers 2. Patients advised docetaxel based chemotherapy and receiving first cycle of treatment 3. Aged 65 years and above 4. Adequate liver function defined as total bilirubin less or equal to 2 times upper limit of normal (ULN), SGOT and SGPT less or equal to 3 times ULN in the absence of liver metastasis and less or equal to 5 times ULN in the presence of liver metastasis 5.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Patients on concomitant drugs which are cytochrome inducers or inhibitors, apart from those which are routinely prescribed along with chemotherapy (eg. Antiemetics and steroids are allowed). 2. Serious co-morbid conditions, including severe cancer cachexia, which in the opinion of the investigator may affect the disposition of drugs. 3.
