NCT ID NCT04871477
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jul 17, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study looks at whether audio recording a clinic visit helps advanced cancer patients remember what their doctor said and share it with family. About 200 patients at MD Anderson Cancer Center will be asked to record part of their visit and later report if it was useful. The goal is to see if this simple tool can improve communication and care.
