Summary
This study tests a web-based program designed to help advanced cancer patients manage symptoms like depression, pain, fatigue, and sleep problems, while also supporting their caregivers. The program combines online tools with guidance from healthcare professionals. Researchers will compare this approach to usual care in 40 patient-caregiver pairs to see if it improves quality of life and reduces stress.
