Interventional
Allocation: Randomized, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Supportive Care
Identify perceived symptom burden and quality of life in our female patients with advanced gynecologic, breast, thoracic, or gastrointestinal malignancies.
We will compare the symptom scores of the control and the intervention groups to determine if the overall symptom burden scores are lower and patient satisfaction scores are higher in the group who receive targeted intervention combined with education.
