Summary

This study tests whether educational tools can help adolescents and young adults (ages 18-39) with advanced solid tumors or high-grade brain tumors start advance care planning early. Participants watch an educational video and attend a special appointment to discuss their care goals. The study measures how feasible and acceptable this approach is, with 50 participants from Mayo Clinic.

What this could mean

Active substance: educational video and advance care planning appointment
What this could lead to: If it works, this could show a practical way to help young adults with cancer discuss their care wishes early, improving their quality of life and peace of mind.
What could go wrong: This is a small pilot study with only 50 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It focuses on whether the approach is feasible, not on curing the cancer.
